Cargo include array contains a non-string or non-table…

Error message

Cargo include array contains a non-string or non-table value in {}

What it means

Schema validation in cargo_config_includes: an element of a Cargo include array is neither a plain string nor an inline table (the two accepted forms). Only strings and {path=...,optional=...} tables are supported include specifications; anything else (integers, arrays of arrays) makes the include list uninterpretable and load_content aborts.

Solutions

1. Use strings for include paths, or tables with a `path` key
2. Remove malformed entries from the include array
3. Validate the TOML structure of the config file
