Description

I don't see a point to allow fields.Boolean to accept values like 'F', 'f', '0', 0, 0.0 and etc. as valid ones. Why such decision was made?

Research direction

Start at the fields.Boolean entry point and inspect how it currently coerces string and numeric inputs. Check the existing validation coverage for Boolean values, then define completion as rejecting non-JSON booleans while preserving the accepted true and false cases and updating the relevant tests.
