Provider name cannot be empty

Error message

Provider name cannot be empty

What it means

normalize_provider rejects a provider string that is empty or whitespace-only after trimming. It is a shared input-validation guard used before any profile lookup, activation, or removal, so an unpopulated provider argument never reaches the store and cannot match or mutate an arbitrary profile.

Solutions

1. Supply a non-empty provider name (e.g. "github", "openai").
2. Check the upstream source of the provider value for an unset or blank variable/config field.
3. Default the provider explicitly at the call site when it is optional.
