Released 2025-09-17

• Improved flag option handling: Reworked the relationship between flag_value
  and default parameters for better consistency:

  • The default parameter value is now preserved as-is and passed directly
    to CLI functions (no more unexpected transformations)
  • Exception: flag options with default=True maintain backward compatibility
    by defaulting to their flag_value
  • The default parameter can now be any type (bool, None, etc.)
