+ * Grabs and processes nested secret references from a string
+ *
+ * This function looks for patterns that match the interpolation syntax in the input string.
+ * It filters out references that include nested paths, splits them into environment and
+ * secret path parts, and then returns an array of objects with the environment and the
+ * joined secret path.
+ *
+ * @param {string} maybeSecretReference - The string that has the potential secret references.
+ * @returns {Array<{ environment: string, secretPath: string }>} - An array of objects
+ * with the environment and joined secret path.
+ *
+ * @example
+ * const value = "Hello ${dev.someFolder.OtherFolder.SECRET_NAME} and ${prod.anotherFolder.SECRET_NAME}";
+ * const result = getAllNestedSecretReferences(value);
+ * // result will be:
+ * // [
