payload summarizer invoke_in_parent does not support file pr

Error message

payload summarizer invoke_in_parent does not support file prompt source: {path}

What it means

The payload summarizer's invoke_in_parent path received a file-based prompt source, which it does not support. This utility is deliberately narrow — it condenses one oversized tool payload within a tight token budget, builds its prompt directly (not via SystemPromptBuilder::from_dynamic), and intentionally excludes AGENTS.md layers; file prompt sources are out of scope and rejected rather than silently mis-summarized.

Solutions

1. Pass an inline text prompt to the payload summarizer instead of a file path
2. If file-sourced summarization is needed, read the file at the caller and submit its contents inline
3. Extend the summarizer's parent-invoke surface deliberately if file sources become a real requirement
