Cargo include path cannot be empty

Error message

Cargo include path cannot be empty

What it means

Validation helper guard in resolve_cargo_config_include: the include path string is empty. An empty path has no meaningful parent-relative resolution and would silently match nothing or the wrong directory, so it is rejected before path resolution. Fires from any string/array/table include form whose path value is "".

Solutions

1. Provide a real relative path in the include directive
2. Remove the empty include entry
3. Fix the config file in the named location
