> picocli sets a boolean flag to the opposite of its default value when the flag is given without a value. For the options of the Camel CLI that are on by default, a bare flag therefore turns the option off: {{camel debug --stop-on-exit}} does not stop the integration on exit, and {{camel export --maven-wrapper}}, {{camel cmd receive --show-body}} or {{--logging-color}} turn the option off. A script or an AI agent that writes the flag to be explicit gets the opposite.
> 131 options are affected (the {{--download}}, {{--logging-color}}, {{--show-*}}, {{--maven-*-enabled}}, {{--lazy-bean}}, {{--docker}} families and more). CAMEL-25396 fixed {{--follow}} ({{log}}, {{trace}}, {{cmd receive}}, {{infra log}}) and {{hawtio --open-url}} with {{arity = "0..1", fallbackValue = "true"}}: a bare flag is true, {{--option=false}} still works, and a following name or file is not taken as the value.
> Proposal:
> * Do the same for every boolean option whose default is true, per option or once for the whole command tree.
> * A test that walks the command tree of {{CamelJBangMain}} and fails for a default-true boolean flag without a fallback value, so new options do not regress.
> * Upgrade guide: a bare flag turns the option on.
