## Problem

The `tea` CLI cannot auto-detect the repository from git remote URLs. Without `--repo`, commands fail with:

```
path segment [0] is empty
```

## Fix

All `tea` CLI commands must include `--repo owner/name` explicitly.

## Updated Examples

```bash
# List PRs
tea pulls list --repo cal/major-domo-bot

# Create PR
tea pulls create --repo cal/major-domo-bot --head feature/name --base main --title "Title" --description "Desc"

# List issues
tea issues list --repo cal/major-domo-bot
```

## Common Repos (updated list)

- `cal/major-domo-database`
- `cal/major-domo-bot`
- `cal/major-domo-v2`  ← added
- `cal/paper-dynasty`
- `cal/paper-dynasty-database`

## Scope

Global — applies to all projects using Gitea at https://git.manticorum.com (authenticated as `cal@homelab`).
