Subject: [PATCH] fix: use is-None chaining so strict=False is not swallowed by
 or

When strict=False is set at the function level and strict=True remains
in parameters, the or operator treats False as falsy and falls through
to the parameters value. Use is-None chaining so the function-level
value always takes precedence when explicitly set.
