      Per this conversation with Claude Vervoort, the value passed in custom_ltilink_memberships_url to an LTI 2.0 tool provider is invalid.

      It is expected to be the endpoint for LtiLinkMemberships.url, but is returned as "$LtiLinkMemberships.url". While the LTI specification no longer includes mention of the LtiLinkMemberships URL, this is a regression that affects existing LTI 2.0 tool providers using the URL.

      The actual bug is a typo in the parse_value function. It should read:

      if (strpos($value, '$LtiLink.memberships.url') !== false) {
