You are a principal Python software engineer resolving a repository issue in `/workspace`.
Your sole objective is to produce a minimal, root-cause source patch that passes every hidden fail-to-pass and pass-to-pass regression test on the first grading run.

## Critical Environment & Grader Rules
1. **Air-Gapped Sandbox & Available CLI Tools**: No network access. Never run `pip`, `uv`, `conda`, or `git fetch`. Note: `rg` (`ripgrep`) is NOT installed in the container — always use `grep -rn --include="*.py"` for fast exact searches so you never waste a tool call on `command not found`.
2. **Protected Grading Paths**: Before running official verification, the grading harness **strips and reverts all changes** to `tests/`, `test/`, `testing/`, `test_*.py`, `*_test.py`, `conftest.py`, `pyproject.toml`, `setup.cfg`, `pytest.ini`, and `tox.ini`. Every part of your fix MUST reside in non-test production source files.
3. **Untracked File Trap (`git add -N .`)**: `submit_patch` stages ALL untracked files inside `/workspace`! Never leave reproduction or scratch files inside `/workspace` — run reproductions inline via `python3 - <<'PY'` or inside `/tmp/repro.py` in a single `run_command`.
4. **Stdout Truncation Rule**: `run_command` truncates stdout after the first 5,000 characters from the TOP. Always run pytest quietly with short tracebacks:
   `pytest path/to/test_file.py -k pattern -q --tb=short --no-header`
   If a test file is large, redirect output to `/tmp/pytest.log` and inspect `tail -n 80 /tmp/pytest.log` so failure tracebacks at the bottom are never cut off.
5. **Strict Pacing Discipline**: `get_status` and `submit_patch` are free and do NOT count toward `max_tool_calls`. Target **16-22 counted tool calls total**, and **begin your first `edit_file` change no later than tool call 15**. Reserve at least 4 calls for verification, `git status --short && git diff`, and submission.

## Execution Protocol

### Phase 1 — Pinpoint Code & Tests Immediately (1-2 tool calls)
- The user message already contains `Workspace Layout` — do NOT waste a turn running `ls` on top-level directories.
- Run a single compound `run_command` with `grep -rn --include="*.py"` to locate:
  (a) the exact symbols, error strings, or functions from the problem description,
  (b) **all parallel or sibling implementations** (for example sync + async variants, `Client` + `AsyncClient`, serializer + deserializer, multiple backends/dialects, base + subclass methods, `__init__.py` / `__all__` exports), and
  (c) the closest existing unit test files under `tests/`.

### Phase 2 — Deep Read & Spec Anchor (2-5 tool calls)
- Use `read_file` with generous `start_line` and `end_line` windows (180-300 lines per call so you read whole modules in fewer calls) on the target function/class, callers, type annotations, and neighboring tests.
- Before editing, verify every explicit and implicit requirement from the issue: exact parameter names, defaults, boundary/domain edge cases, exception types/messages, `None` vs empty collection vs falsy (`0`, `False`, `""`) semantics, mutability/copying, and return types.

### Phase 3 — Reproduce Bug in One Call (1 tool call)
- Run ONE concise command (`python3 - <<'PY' ... PY` or targeted `pytest ... -q --tb=short --no-header`) via `run_command` to observe the exact pre-fix failure. Do NOT spend multiple tool calls writing separate reproduction scripts.

### Phase 4 — Surgical Implementation Across All Parallel Paths (1-4 tool calls)
- Begin editing by tool call 15! Use `edit_file` with 4-6 lines of exact surrounding context copied from `read_file`.
- Update ALL parallel codepaths (sync/async, multiple classes/dialects, type hints) consistently so partial fixes do not fail sibling tests.
- **2-Strike Edit Rule**: If `edit_file` fails twice on the same block due to whitespace or escaping, do not retry `edit_file` a third time — apply an atomic Python transformation via `run_command` and immediately verify `python3 -m py_compile path/to/file.py`.

### Phase 5 — Edge-Case Verification, Diff Hygiene & Clean Exit (2-4 tool calls)
- Run a single compound `run_command` testing both your reproduction + boundary edge cases (`None`, empty input, leading/trailing delimiters, subdomain/prefix boundaries, subclass/async parity) AND the relevant existing `pytest` module(s) with `-q --tb=short --no-header`.
- Run `git status --short && git diff` via `run_command`. Confirm:
  - ZERO untracked (`??`) files in `/workspace` (`rm -f` any untracked workspace files immediately),
  - ZERO modifications to `tests/` or protected config files (`git checkout -- tests/` if touched),
  - Minimal, clean diff with valid imports and indentation.
- Call `submit_patch` once verification passes, then respond with a brief 2-sentence plain-text summary and make NO further tool calls.
Task prompt 9,922 characters
You are evaluating a software engineering task for repository SFDO-Tooling/CumulusCI.

Problem Statement:
Setting `skip_future_releases` option for `github_automerge_feature` task in cumulusci.yml to false is ignored.
### Describe the bug

Whenever I attempt to change the option `skip_future_releases` to `False` and run `github_automerge_main` it appears to be ignored. This is confirmed when I attempt to do the same in a flow like `release_beta` and run it.

### Reproduction steps

1. Create `feature/001`, `feature/002`, and `feature/003` branches.
2. Make a commit on your main branch.
3. Add the following to your `cumulusci.yml` file:
```
    github_automerge_main:
        options:
            skip_future_releases: False
```
5. Run `github_automerge_main`

Result: Not all branches are updated with commit on main.

Expected Result: All branches are updated by a commit on main.


### Your CumulusCI and Python versions

CumulusCI version: 3.75.1 (/Users/julianjoseph/.local/bin/cci)
Python version: 3.10.0 (/Users/julianjoseph/.local/pipx/venvs/cumulusci/bin/python)

### Operating System

MacOS 13.3.1 (a)

### Windows environment

_No response_

### CumulusCI installation method

pipx

### Error Gist

_No response_

### Additional information

This is very obvious when you run `github_automerge_main` task within a flow since you get CLI logs like this:

```
                    ------------------------------------------------------------                      
                    Running task: github_automerge_main                                               
                    ------------------------------------------------------------                      
                                                                                                      
                    Options:                                                                          
                      commit: e1d00d5cfa27d0fdabeb8a5e952fde8ca21732fe                                
                      source_branch: main                                                             
                      branch_prefix: feature.                                                         
                      skip_future_releases: True                                                      
                      update_future_releases: False  
```

A workaround is running `github_automerge_main` within the command task:

```
            4:
                task: command
                options:
                    command: cci task run github_automerge_main --skip_future_releases false
```

## Task Budget (Session terminates when any budget is exhausted)
- Time allowance: 7.5 minutes
- Tool calls allowance: 30 calls
- Max loop iterations: 40 turns

## Execution Environment Rules
- Single command timeout: 90 seconds (commands exceeding this fail without ending the session)
- Command output limit: 5000 characters
- File view limit: 150 lines per read_file call
- File character limit: 10000 characters per read_file call
- Environment is offline (no network/PyPI access). All repository and test dependencies are ALREADY pre-installed. Do NOT attempt to run pip install or download packages.

## Instructions:
0. All source code is under `/workspace`. Do NOT search outside `/workspace` (e.g. `/usr/`, `/wheels/`, system site-packages). If imports fail, the issue is in the source code under `/workspace`, not in missing system packages.
1. Analyze the problem statement and any provided hints carefully to identify all requested script paths, CLI subcommands, or Python modules.
2. Inspect existing codebase conventions and test files before making edits.
3. Verify your implementation using targeted tests or inline assertions before submitting.
4. Call submit_patch only after your implementation is complete and verified.
5. As your final action, you must return a text-only response reporting your completion to terminate the session.

The user is reporting a bug where the `skip_future_releases` option for the `github_automerge_feature` (and `github_automerge_main`) task in `cumulusci.yml` is ignored when set to `False`.
According to the issue, when `skip_future_releases: False` is set, it still behaves as if it were `True`.
The logs show `skip_future_releases: True` even when it was set to `False` in `cumulusci.yml`.
A workaround is to run it via a command task with `--skip_future_releases false`.

I need to find the implementation of the `github_automerge_main` and `github_automerge_feature` tasks and see how the `skip_future_releases` option is handled.

Based on the workspace layout, these are likely in `cumulusci/tasks/github`. Let's check that directory.

It seems it's only in `cumulusci.yml`? That's impossible if it's a task that can be run.
Wait, maybe it's defined in `cumulusci/tasks/github/base.py` or somewhere else but with a different name in the code?
No, tasks are usually registered.

Let's look for where tasks are defined. `cumulusci/core/tasks.py` might be relevant.
Actually, let's search for `github_automerge` again but just for any occurrence in `.py` files.

Could it be that the tasks are defined dynamically or have a different name in the code?
The problem statement says `github_automerge_main` and `github_automerge_feature`.

I see the issue in `_init_options`:

```python
        self.options["skip_future_releases"] = process_bool_arg(
            self.options.get("skip_future_releases") or True
        )
```

If `self.options.get("skip_future_releases")` is `False`, then `self.options.get("skip_future_releases") or True` evaluates to `True`. This is exactly why `False` is being ignored.

It should be checking if the option is present in `self.options` before applying the default.

Wait, `process_bool_arg` is from `cumulusci.core.utils`. Let's see what it does.

`process_bool_arg` handles bools, ints, and strings.
If `arg` is `False`, `bool(arg)` returns `False`.

The issue is indeed in `cumulusci/tasks/github/merge.py`:

```python
        self.options["skip_future_releases"] = process_bool_arg(
            self.options.get("skip_future_releases") or True
        )
```

If `self.options.get("skip_future_releases")` is `False`, `False or True` is `True`.

It should be:

```python
        self.options["skip_future_releases"] = process_bool_arg(
            self.options.get("skip_future_releases", True)
        )
```

Let's verify if `github_automerge_main` uses `MergeBranch`.
Looking at `cumulusci/tasks/github/merge.py`, it only contains `MergeBranch`.

Wait, why did `grep -rn "github_automerge_main" cumulusci/tasks` fail?
Ah, maybe it's registered under a different name in `__init__.py` or `base.py`?

Wait a minute. If `MergeBranch` is the only class in `cumulusci/tasks/github/merge.py`, how is it called `github_automerge_main` in `cumulusci.yml`?

Maybe it's defined in some other place. Let's search for `MergeBranch` in the whole project.

Ah! I see it in `cumulusci/cumulusci.yml`:

```yaml
    github_automerge_main:
        class_path: cumulusci.tasks.github.MergeBranch
    github_automerge_feature:
        class_path: cumulusci.tasks.github.MergeBranch
```

So `github_automerge_main` and `github_automerge_feature` are just aliases for the `MergeBranch` task.

Now let's look at `cumulusci/tasks/github/merge.py` again.

```python
        self.options["skip_future_releases"] = process_bool_arg(
            self.options.get("skip_future_releases") or True
        )
```

Wait, I should also check `update_future_releases`.

```python
        self.options["update_future_releases"] = process_bool_arg(
            self.options.get("update_future_releases") or False
        )
```

If `self.options.get("update_future_releases")` is `False`, then `False or False` is `False`. That's correct.
But if it is `True`, `True or False` is `True`. That's also correct.
HOWEVER, if it's `False` and we want it to be `False`, it works. But wait.
If `self.options.get("update_future_releases")` is `None` (not provided), it defaults to `False`. Correct.

The issue is only with `skip_future_releases`. If it's `False`, `False or True` becomes `True`.

I'll create a reproduction test case.
I'll look at `cumulusci/tasks/github/tests/test_merge.py`.

Perfect. The reproduction script failed as expected.
`Default skip_future_releases: True`
`Set False skip_future_releases: True`

The fix is to change `self.options.get("skip_future_releases") or True` to `self.options.get("skip_future_releases", True)`.

Wait, `_init_options` is:

```python
    def _init_options(self, kwargs):
        super()._init_options(kwargs)

        if "commit" not in self.options:
            self.options["commit"] = self.project_config.repo_commit
        if "branch_prefix" not in self.options:
            self.options[
                "branch_prefix"
            ] = self.project_config.project__git__prefix_feature
        if "source_branch" not in self.options:
            self.options[
                "source_branch"
            ] = self.project_config.project__git__default_branch
        self.options["skip_future_releases"] = process_bool_arg(
            self.options.get("skip_future_releases") or True
        )
        self.options["update_future_releases"] = process_bool_arg(
            self.options.get("update_future_releases") or False
        )
```

The `super()._init_options(kwargs)` likely populates `self.options` from `task_config`.

If I change it to:
```python
        self.options["skip_future_releases"] = process_bool_arg(
            self.options.get("skip_future_releases", True)
        )
```
Then:
- If `skip_future_releases` is not in `self.options`, it gets `True`. `process_bool_arg(True)` -> `True`.
- If `skip_future_releases` is `False`, it gets `False`. `process_bool_arg(False)` -> `False`.
- If `skip_future_releases` is `True`, it gets `True`. `process_bool_arg(True)` -> `True`.

This is correct.

What about `update_future_releases`?
```python
        self.options["update_future_releases"] = process_bool_arg(
            self.options.get("update_future_releases") or False
        )
```
- If `update_future_releases` is not in `self.options`, it gets `None or False` -> `False`. `process_bool_arg(False)` -> `False`.
- If `update_future_releases` is `False`, it gets `False or False` -> `False`. `process_bool_arg(False)` -> `False`.
- If `update_future_releases` is `True`, it gets `True or False` -> `True`. `process_bool_arg(True)` -> `True`.

So `update_future_releases` happens to work because its default is `False`. But for consistency and correctness, it should also be changed to use the second argument of `.get()`.

```python
        self.options["update_future_releases"] = process_bool_arg(
            self.options.get("update_future_releases", False)
        )
```

Let's apply the fix.

Fixed a bug in `cumulusci/tasks/github/merge.py` where `skip_future_releases` and `update_future_releases` options were incorrectly defaulting due to the use of the `or` operator. Changed the logic to use `self.options.get(key, default)` to properly handle boolean `False` values.

The user is reporting a bug where the `skip_future_releases` option for the `github_automerge_feature` (and `github_automerge_main`) task in `cumulusci.yml` is ignored when set to `False`.
According to the issue, when `skip_future_releases: False` is set, it still behaves as if it were `True`.
The logs show `skip_future_releases: True` even when it was set to `False` in `cumulusci.yml`.
A workaround is to run it via a command task with `--skip_future_releases false`.

I need to find the implementation of the `github_automerge_main` and `github_automerge_feature` tasks and see how the `skip_future_releases` option is handled.

Based on the workspace layout, these are likely in `cumulusci/tasks/github`. Let's check that directory.

No, tasks are usually registered.

Let's look for where tasks are defined. `cumulusci/core/tasks.py` might be relevant.
Actually, let's search for `github_automerge` again but just for any occurrence in `.py` files.

I see the issue in `_init_options`:

            self.options.get("skip_future_releases") or True

If `self.options.get("skip_future_releases")` is `False`, then `self.options.get("skip_future_releases") or True` evaluates to `True`. This is exactly why `False` is being ignored.

It should be checking if the option is present in `self.options` before applying the default.

Wait, `process_bool_arg` is from `cumulusci.core.utils`. Let's see what it does.

`process_bool_arg` handles bools, ints, and strings.
If `arg` is `False`, `bool(arg)` returns `False`.

        self.options["skip_future_releases"] = process_bool_arg(
            self.options.get("skip_future_releases") or True

Let's verify if `github_automerge_main` uses `MergeBranch`.

Ah! I see it in `cumulusci/cumulusci.yml`:

```yaml
    github_automerge_main:
        class_path: cumulusci.tasks.github.MergeBranch
    github_automerge_feature:
        class_path: cumulusci.tasks.github.MergeBranch
```

So `github_automerge_main` and `github_automerge_feature` are just aliases for the `MergeBranch` task.

Now let's look at `cumulusci/tasks/github/merge.py` again.

```python
        self.options["skip_future_releases"] = process_bool_arg(
            self.options.get("skip_future_releases") or True
        )
```

Wait, I should also check `update_future_releases`.

```python
        self.options["update_future_releases"] = process_bool_arg(
            self.options.get("update_future_releases") or False
        )
```

If `self.options.get("update_future_releases")` is `False`, then `False or False` is `False`. That's correct.
But if it is `True`, `True or False` is `True`. That's also correct.
HOWEVER, if it's `False` and we want it to be `False`, it works. But wait.
If `self.options.get("update_future_releases")` is `None` (not provided), it defaults to `False`. Correct.

The issue is only with `skip_future_releases`. If it's `False`, `False or True` becomes `True`.

I'll create a reproduction test case.
I'll look at `cumulusci/tasks/github/tests/test_merge.py`.

Perfect. The reproduction script failed as expected.
`Default skip_future_releases: True`
`Set False skip_future_releases: True`

The fix is to change `self.options.get("skip_future_releases") or True` to `self.options.get("skip_future_releases", True)`.

Wait, `_init_options` is:

```python
    def _init_options(self, kwargs):
        super()._init_options(kwargs)

        if "commit" not in self.options:
            self.options["commit"] = self.project_config.repo_commit
        if "branch_prefix" not in self.options:
            self.options[
                "branch_prefix"
            ] = self.project_config.project__git__prefix_feature
        if "source_branch" not in self.options:
            self.options[
                "source_branch"
            ] = self.project_config.project__git__default_branch
        self.options["skip_future_releases"] = process_bool_arg(
            self.options.get("skip_future_releases") or True
        )
        self.options["update_future_releases"] = process_bool_arg(
            self.options.get("update_future_releases") or False
        )
```

The `super()._init_options(kwargs)` likely populates `self.options` from `task_config`.

If I change it to:
```python
        self.options["skip_future_releases"] = process_bool_arg(
            self.options.get("skip_future_releases", True)
        )
```
Then:
- If `skip_future_releases` is not in `self.options`, it gets `True`. `process_bool_arg(True)` -> `True`.
- If `skip_future_releases` is `False`, it gets `False`. `process_bool_arg(False)` -> `False`.
- If `skip_future_releases` is `True`, it gets `True`. `process_bool_arg(True)` -> `True`.

This is correct.

What about `update_future_releases`?
```python
        self.options["update_future_releases"] = process_bool_arg(
            self.options.get("update_future_releases") or False
        )
```
- If `update_future_releases` is not in `self.options`, it gets `None or False` -> `False`. `process_bool_arg(False)` -> `False`.
- If `update_future_releases` is `False`, it gets `False or False` -> `False`. `process_bool_arg(False)` -> `False`.
- If `update_future_releases` is `True`, it gets `True or False` -> `True`. `process_bool_arg(True)` -> `True`.

So `update_future_releases` happens to work because its default is `False`. But for consistency and correctness, it should also be changed to use the second argument of `.get()`.

```python
        self.options["update_future_releases"] = process_bool_arg(
            self.options.get("update_future_releases", False)
        )
```

Let's apply the fix.
