+When git remote URLs contain embedded credentials (https://user:token@host/owner/repo.git), tea CLI fails to auto-detect the repo with 'Error: path segment [0] is empty'. Fix: always pass --repo owner/repo explicitly to tea pulls create and similar commands. Example: tea pulls create --repo cal/major-domo-database --head branch --base main --title 'Title' --description 'Desc'
