Effective variables for a component

GET
/components/{name}/effective-variables
curl --request GET \
--url https://example.com/api/v1/components/example/effective-variables

Resolves the variables that cascade onto a component (platform -> location -> system -> component): names union, values override most-specific-wins, with the winner and the shadowed candidates it overrode. The system band comes from the component’s PRIMARY membership; resolving against a named system is not offered here yet, unlike effective-tags. Gated by variable:read; the component must be in the caller’s component read scope.
