invalid boolean for telemetry.enabled: %w

Error message

invalid boolean for telemetry.enabled: %w

What it means

Raised when the value for `ocr config set telemetry.enabled` (or telemetry.Enable) is not a boolean Go can parse (strconv.ParseBool accepts 1/t/T/true/TRUE/True/0/f/F/false/FALSE/False). The telemetry struct's Enabled field is a plain bool, so any other string would silently fail to be stored; the setter converts the parse error into a wrapped, user-facing error naming the key.

Solutions

1. Run `ocr config set telemetry.enabled false` (or true)
2. Use 1/0 if scripting: `ocr config set telemetry.enabled 0`
3. Verify the value in CI pipelines isn't an unset variable expanding to empty string
4. Check other telemetry settings with `ocr config get`

Example fix

// before
ocr config set telemetry.enabled $TELEMETRY  # expands to empty
// after
ocr config set telemetry.enabled "${TELEMETRY:-false}"

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

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

When it happens

Trigger: `ocr config set telemetry.enabled <value>` where value is not one of 1/t/true/0/f/false (e.g. "yes", "on", "enable", empty).

Common situations: Disabling telemetry with "no"; an empty CI variable interpolated into the command; locale or YAML-style "Y"/"N" values.
