parse_repository_locator

Function: warmhub.parse_repository_locator

parse_repository_locator(locator: str)

Parse "org/repo" or "wh:org/repo/..." into its two names.

Both forms are accepted because both are what users have in hand: the slug is what the UI shows, and a wref is what a previous read returned. A wref carries further segments (shape, name, version); they are ignored, because the handle binds a repository and nothing narrower.

Anything else raises ValueError naming the input and both accepted forms. It does not raise WarmHubError: no request was made and no server was involved, so a caller’s except WarmHubError around a network call must not swallow what is a typo in a literal.
