Args field %s: arg:"local" is not allowed inside inline

Error message

Args field %s: arg:"local" is not allowed inside inline

What it means

Compile-time guard: a field with arg:"local" is declared inside an arg:"inline" struct. Local-only args are not meaningful within an inlined sub-struct and are rejected at compile time.
