Commander exposes a negated `--no-x` flag as `opts.x === false`, not as `opts.noX`, so every `--no-*` flag on `chat`, `contexts` and `serve` was being read as undefined and silently ignored. Probe on your head: 5/5 pass in `tests/unit/cli-negated-flags.test.ts` — a real Commander parser with mocked fetch and a temp `DATA_DIR`, exercising all three commands end to end rather than asserting on the parser in isolation.
Thanks, @datrixlab.
**Batch validation** — boarded with the other 10 PRs of your batch into one worktree cut from `release/v3.8.51`; every PR verified as an ancestor of the combined HEAD before validating.
- Focused tests across all 11 PRs: **104/104 pass** on the combined tree.
- Gates on the combined tree: `check-changelog-integrity` PASS, `check-complexity` PASS, `check-cognitive-complexity` PASS, `typecheck:core` PASS, `check:open-sse-typecheck` PASS.
- `check-file-size` is red, but reproduces with byte-identical line counts on the pure `release/v3.8.51` tip (`open-sse/handlers/imageGeneration.ts` 3304, `open-sse/services/combo/roundRobinCombo.ts` 1221, `open-sse/utils/stream.ts` 3115). Inherited base-red, nothing added by this batch — it is also why this PR's "Fast Quality Gates" check was red.
