+# Support a boolean param kind that's always present (true/false, not omitted)
+
+Discovered while scoping the "IsError" docs use case (see ticket 019): declaring a param today always requires a capture group, and a param is *omitted* from a line's fields (not `false`/empty) whenever its regex doesn't match (`src/engine.rs`, `LogEntryDto::params` build path — "A param is omitted (not included as null/empty) when its regex/capture group doesn't match"). There's also no boolean kind — `MetricPrimitiveKind` (`src/data_value.rs`) only has `String`, `Number`, `Timestamp`, `Duration`.
+
+This blocks a use case like declaring a param `IsError` that's `true` for any message matching `error` (case-insensitively) and `false` for every other message — today a non-matching line just doesn't get the param at all, and there's no boolean type to hold the result even if it did.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+- `MetricPrimitiveKind` gains a `Boolean` variant (`src/data_value.rs`), serialized as `"boolean"` consistent with the other lowercase kinds.
+- A param declared with kind `Boolean` doesn't require (or use) a capture group for its value — its value is whether `message_match_regex` matches the line, case-insensitively or per the regex's own flags.
+- A `Boolean`-kind param is present on every line as `true` or `false` (never omitted), unlike capture-based params.
+- Params UI (`Params.tsx`) offers `boolean` as a kind option and hides/disables the capture-group input when it's selected (or clarifies it's unused).
+- Existing string/number/timestamp/duration param behavior (including the "omitted when unmatched" semantics for those) is unchanged.
