In your rive app, create a viewModel which has a nested viewModel named "foo/bar". Make the nested model have a string called "baz". One would expect useViewModelInstanceString("foo/bar/baz") to bind to that nested property, but it doesnt work.

Research direction

Start at the useViewModelInstanceString hook or entry point and reproduce the described nested viewModel case with the path "foo/bar/baz". Trace how the path is resolved and verify that the hook binds to the nested string property without breaking ordinary names; add or update a focused regression test if the repository has coverage for this hook.
