False boolean overrides are silently lost during restart.

When a boolean config override is False (e.g., user originally ran dimos --no-some-flag run blueprint), the reconstruction loop at lines 289–291 only emits a flag for True values. Since the CLI uses a --flag/--no-flag pattern (line 70), False values need to emit --no-<flag> to be restored correctly.
