Function splitPathComponents

path_fuzz_test.go:119–131

splitPathComponents interprets the fuzz path bytes as a '/'-separated list of key components. Empty segments (from "", "a/", "/a", "a//b", etc.) become "" key components — the input shape that exposes the empty-key hazard class (8th panic site + the still-open parser.go:981 site documented as D9 in
