Merge branch 'master' into feature/generic-feature-flag-cli

Per @rattus128 review on PR #13685: silently coercing typo'd bool values
(e.g. `--feature-flag show_signin_button=ture`) to `False` was a confusing
UX. Make bool coercion strict and drop unparseable flags entirely.

- `_coerce_bool`: accept only `true`/`false` (case-insensitive); raise
  `ValueError` for anything else (`ture`, `yes`, `1`, ``).
- `_coerce_flag_value`: no longer swallows exceptions; raises on bad
  coercion so the caller decides what to do.
- `_parse_cli_feature_flags`: catches `ValueError`/`TypeError`, logs a
  warning ("dropping flag"), and omits the flag from the result. ComfyUI
  still starts; `SERVER_FEATURE_FLAGS` retains the registered default;
  other valid `--feature-flag` entries on the same command line are
  unaffected.

Tests:
- `test_bool_typo_raises`: `ture`/`yes`/`1`/`""` all raise ValueError.
- `test_failed_int_coercion_raises`: replaces the old "falls back to
  string" test now that coercion failures propagate.
- `test_invalid_bool_value_dropped`: parser drops the bad flag and logs
  a warning, while a valid sibling flag still parses.

19/19 unit tests pass.
