self_update.repository must be in owner/repository format, g

Error message

self_update.repository must be in owner/repository format, got {:?}

What it means

Settings validation in SelfUpdate repository_parts(): the configured self_update.repository string has no '/' separator, so it is not in owner/repository form and a GitHub API URL cannot be constructed. Fires when the repository setting was set to a bare name or URL.

Solutions

1. Set self_update.repository to 'owner/repo' form in settings
2. Remove a full URL if one was pasted in; use only owner/repository
3. Retry `mise self-update` after correcting the setting
