#13699 adds this for Maven and Gradle plugin, but not for CLI. It does so via global properties.

Research direction

Start by tracing the generateMetadata and global-properties handling added in #13699, then compare the CLI, Maven, and Gradle plugin paths. Done means the option is consistently available across all three interfaces and can disable metadata output; verify each interface with its existing generation checks.
