Reviving the still-relevant part of #785, closed 2026-09-10 purely to
clear a review backlog, not on merit. Investigated fresh against
current master -- one of the original PR's three targets turned out
to already be fixed independently: element_nomenclature_view's SQL
predicate for exclude_from_bom already does
"COALESCE(LOWER(TRIM(ei.exclude_from_bom)), '') NOT IN ('true', '1',
'yes', 'on')" (projectDataBase::createElementNomenclatureView()).
auto_num_locked and potential_isolating had no equivalent: five call
sites across terminal.cpp, terminalnumberingdialog.cpp and
elementinfowidget.cpp compared the raw stored string against the
literal "true" with QString::operator==, silently treating "True",
"TRUE", a trailing space, or any value written by something other
than this app's own checkbox as off -- with no error and no visible
difference from the checkbox being genuinely unticked.
Added QET::infoFlagIsTrue(), matching the same accepted spellings
("true"/"1"/"yes"/"on", case-insensitive, trimmed) the SQL predicate
already uses, and switched all five call sites to it.
Verified the exact comparison logic in isolation, outside any QET
build: 15 cases including "True", "TRUE", padded whitespace, "1",
"yes", "on", and their false counterparts -- all correctly
discriminated. Qt 6.10.2, ctest 13/13.
