Do we have terminology for a template string with no substitutions? I see the syntax rule called NoSubstitutionTemplate, but that seems kind of incidental (and kind of awkward to use in documentation, but totally fine for a descriptive syntax name).

Something like "static template string", but want to make sure there isn't established names already. The spec itself doesn't really ever describe template strings at a high level (the way it, for example, primitive values), so the "high level feature" is sort of emergent from the evaluation rules. As such, there really aren't many places that talk about "template strings" in like paragraph form to look for examples.

incidental how?

Seems like exactly the terminology you're looking for. You could "prosify" it as 'no-substitution template'.

there isn't a name that i'm aware of. i also don't say "template" by itself because i think that's a misnomer, i say "template literals" or something (i wish they'd been named "interpolation literals")
