Schema
```
[{:db/ident :foo/bar
:db/valueType :db.type/boolean
:db/cardinality :db.cardinality/one}
{:db/ident :foo/guard
:db.entity/attrs [:foo/bar]}]
```
We can validate the required attribute by requesting the entity spec
```
{:foo/bar true
:db/ensure :foo/guard}
```
However the boolean value `false` is interpreted as missing schema
```
{:foo/bar false
:db/ensure :foo/guard}
```

Hi @hden
We have reproduced this behavior and will release a fix in an upcoming release. I’ll circle back when it’s available. Thank you for the report!

I realized today when auditing older stories that I never circled back to update that we released a fix for this issue on 7/13/2021 with [Local Dev and CI with Datomic Local | Datomic](https://docs.datomic.com/cloud/datomic-local.html#235).
Updated here in case someone is searching this issue out.
