+### Fixed
+
+* **A true/false setting written as a string stops the run** — a quoted
+  value such as `conventional_commits = "false"` was read as true, so the
+  rule stayed on and rejected the commit. Any value of a true/false setting
+  that is not `true` or `false` is now a configuration error (exit 2) that
+  names the setting, like the other wrong-type values in 2.19.2. CLI flags
+  and `CCHK_*` variables were already read correctly.
+  See PR [#636](https://github.com/commit-check/commit-check/pull/636).
