ChangesOptional flag value support
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new optional-flag behavior may misrepresent the difference between an absent flag and a bare flag when default_missing is combined with nested optional values, potentially producing incorrect parsed configuration. Merge should wait for this interaction to be handled or explicitly accepted by the owner. Possibly related PRs

that nested values use the declared FromStr or ValueEnum conversion, reflecting
the separate value_enum and optional_value_type derive settings.

Note
Medium Risk
Changes core flag parsing and binding in argv, usage-lib, derive, and Go; behavior is heavily tested but mistakes could affect CLI argument interpretation broadly.
Overview
Optional flag values are now a first-class parsing policy, not just help bracket syntax. Flags can emit events with no value when
value_optionalis set (KDLvalue_optional=#true, or inferred fromOption<Option<T>>on the derive), while[VALUE]in the spec alone still only affects presentation.usage-argvand Go treat a missing detached value as a successful bare occurrence (value: None/HasValue: false) instead of a missing-value error, including variadic flags that only start collecting when a value is present.usage-libcloses pending optional flags the same way asdefault_missing, including when the next token is another flag, and counts bare repeats for repeatable optional flags.Derive maps
Option<Option<T>>to zero-or-one value arity,[PLACEHOLDER]in emitted KDL, and tri-state results (None/Some(None)/Some(Some(v))) via__given_*tracking; help-onlyvalue_optionalwithoutdefault_missingor nestedOptionstill errors on a bare flag.Spec and bridge:
SpecFlag::value_optionalround-trips in KDL; clap import sets it fromnum_argswithmin_values() == 0and carries per-occurrence bounds instead of dropping zero-min ranges.
