String true/false on a boolean attribute

Validation prompt

Use this to decide whether a fired diagnostic is real or a false positive.

Confirm the reported code matches String true/false on a boolean attribute. Check the framework context and diagnostic message before suppressing it.

Fix prompt

Use this once validation confirms the diagnostic is real.

Use the boolean form on boolean attributes: disabled / disabled={true} / disabled={false}, not disabled="false". A non-empty string is truthy, so ="false" actually turns the attribute ON.
