Description
With eb48d71 the CLI argument parsing seems to have regressed (caused breakage in Puppeteer tests for schematics). Running the schematics command with --dry-run=false would work previously. Now in packages/angular_devkit/schematics_cli/bin/schematics.ts the false is passed as a string breaking boolean checks (Boolean(dryRun) === true if dryRun === 'false').
Minimal Reproduction
Add a local schematic with --dry-run=false:
schematics ../../:ng-add --dry-run=false --test-runner="node"
Exception or Error
Dry run enabled. No files written to disk.
Your Environment
Node v22.20.0 since the arg parsing switched to the node util it is probably relevant. Same with Node v24.2.0.
