Prevent telemetry host termination on boolean MSTest setting payloads

[Copilot]

Bug Fix

What was the bug?

Telemetry acceptance runs were failing on Linux Debug with exit code 134 because AppInsightsProvider hit a debug assertion when a telemetry payload contained a bool (mstest.setting.parallelization_enabled). That assertion terminated the host during telemetry ingestion.

How did you fix it?

• Telemetry ingestion hardening
  • Updated AppInsightsProvider to treat bool payload values as valid input and serialize them via AsTelemetryBool() without asserting.
  • This preserves expected telemetry normalization ("true" / "false") while removing a process-killing path in debug builds.
• Regression coverage
  • Added a focused unit test in AppInsightsProviderTests that logs a payload containing a boolean property and verifies the emitted property is TelemetryProperties.True.

case bool value:
    properties.Add(pair.Key, value.AsTelemetryBool());
    break;

Testing

• Added/ran targeted unit coverage for boolean telemetry conversion in AppInsightsProviderTests.

Telemetry

Microsoft Testing Platform collects usage data in order to help us improve your experience. The data is collected by Microsoft and are not shared with anyone.
You can opt-out of telemetry by setting the TESTINGPLATFORM_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT or DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT environment variable to '1' or 'true' using your favorite shell.
