Subject: [PATCH 03/16] fix: template rendering with required 'expand' query
 parameter

The issue wasn't with the path itself, but with GitHub requiring the
additional 'expand=1' query parameter for proper template rendering.
This change ensures the correct behavior when selecting pull request
templates.
