Replace the brief
type=boolnote with a.. warning::admonition that demonstrates the surprising behavior ('False'->True), and add three recommended alternatives:BooleanOptionalAction,store_true/store_false, and a custom converter function.Addresses the request in #126676 (comment) for documenting "recipes/patterns to achieve the desired result." This is a docs-only change with no runtime behavior modifications.
