invalid boolean for telemetry.content_logging: %w

Error message

invalid boolean for telemetry.content_logging: %w

What it means

The telemetry.content_logging key is parsed with strconv.ParseBool; a value Go cannot interpret as a boolean produces "invalid boolean for telemetry.content_logging: %w" with the strconv parse error attached.

Solutions

1. Use `ocr config set telemetry.content_logging true` (or false)
2. Use 1/0 in scripts
3. Quote the value so the shell doesn't split or drop it
4. Confirm with `ocr config get` that the value took effect

Example fix

// before
ocr config set telemetry.content_logging on
// after
ocr config set telemetry.content_logging true

if _, err := strconv.ParseBool(v); err != nil {
    return fmt.Errorf("telemetry.content_logging must be true/false, got %q", v)
}
_ = runConfigSet("telemetry.content_logging", v)

if err := runConfigSet("telemetry.content_logging", v); err != nil {
    if strings.Contains(err.Error(), "invalid boolean for telemetry.content_logging") {
        fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "expected true/false, got %q\n", v)
    }
}

When it happens

Trigger: `ocr config set telemetry.content_logging yes|on|""|1.0` — anything outside strconv.ParseBool's accepted set.

Common situations: Trying to turn content logging on with "yes"; templated config where the placeholder was never substituted; copy-pasting YAML conventions into the CLI.
