        key (str): The parsed key.
        value (str): The parsed value.

    Raises:
        AssertionError: If the value is missing or empty.

    Examples:
        >>> key, value = parse_key_value_pair("model=yolo11n.pt")

    Notes:
        - The function splits the input string on the first '=' character.

    This function attempts to convert a given string into a Python object of the most appropriate type. It handles

    Args:
        v (str): The string representation of the value to be converted.

    Returns:
        (Any): The converted value. The type can be None, bool, int, float, or the original string if no conversion
