Description
When building with -p we shouldn't generate .merlin files during the build. We should introduce a CLI flag to disable (merlin) in the default(?) context and make -p imply this.

Start by tracing how the -p option is handled and where (merlin) generation is enabled during builds. Identify the default context and release-mode path, then verify that the new CLI flag disables .merlin generation and that -p implies it.
