Description
Per [the spec](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.4/appendices/#user-identifiers), MXIDs are allowed to contain forward slashes (`/`). However, matrix.to rejects such MXIDs:
>The localpart of a user ID is an opaque identifier for that user. It MUST NOT be empty, and MUST contain only the characters a-z, 0-9, ., _, =, -, and /.
Contributor guide
Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating the MXID validation used by matrix.to and reproduce the rejection with a forward slash in a valid localpart. Done means valid slash-containing MXIDs are accepted while invalid identifiers remain rejected, with coverage added if the project has validation tests.
