Description

See https://github.com/refined-github/refined-github/issues/8185

I'm not sure if there's anything to do here, maybe getRepo can normalize the path

Example:

https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint/blob/86409083167bee4ba1ad3ebba22785b3a4a262ee/packages%2Feslint-plugin%2Fdocs%2Frules%2Fstrict-boolean-expressions.mdx

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the getRepo function in the source code to understand how it currently parses URLs, then identify where percent encoded characters (like %2F) break the parsing. Implement normalization using decodeURIComponent or a similar approach to handle partially URL encoded paths.
