Issue: PowerShell#17731 - Cannot directly construct a generic list from a Boolean scalar The ConvertViaIEnumerableConstructor.Convert method was directly adding the scalar value to the list without converting it to the element type first. This worked for types like int where the value's runtime type matches the expected element type, but failed for bool because the PowerShell Boolean wrapper type is different from System.Boolean. Fix: Use LanguagePrimitives.ConvertTo to convert the scalar value to the element type before adding to the list, similar to how non-scalar values are handled. Added tests for: - [List[bool]]$true - [List[bool]]$false - [List[bool]]$boolVar - [List[psobject]]$true

Summary
Fixes Issue #17731 - Cannot directly construct a generic list from a Boolean scalar
Problem
The following statements return an error:
\\powershell
[System.Collections.Generic.List[bool]]$False
[System.Collections.Generic.List[bool]]$True
[System.Collections.Generic.List[psobject]]$True
\\
While these statements work fine:
\\powershell
[System.Collections.Generic.List[int]]3
[System.Collections.Generic.List[string]]'Test'
[Array]$True
\\
Root Cause
The \ConvertViaIEnumerableConstructor.Convert\ method was directly adding the scalar value to the list without converting it to the element type first. This worked for types like \int\ where the value's runtime type matches the expected element type, but failed for \�ool\ because the PowerShell Boolean wrapper type differs from \System.Boolean.
Fix
Use \LanguagePrimitives.ConvertTo\ to convert the scalar value to the element type before adding to the list, similar to how non-scalar values are handled.
