Description

Centralize helper functions introduced for in_list (e.g., optional bool parsing) so other functions can reuse them.

Steps:

  • Move generic helper logic to a shared internal package or existing common helper file.
  • Update affected functions/tests to use the shared helpers.
  • Add unit tests directly targeting the shared helpers for future regression protection.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify generic helper functions used in `in list` (e.g., optional bool parsing) and extract them into a shared internal package or existing common helper file. Then update all affected functions and tests to use the new shared helpers, and add unit tests for the extracted helpers.
