file if fixing a bug or adding a new feature.ENH: Preserve nullable boolean dtype in pivot_table (GH#62244)
This PR ensures pivot_table preserves nullable boolean dtype instead of upcasting to float
for boolean columns or object columns containing only booleans. It also skips dtype conversion
for margin columns that are returned as DataFrames.
Includes updated test_pivot_table_bool_preserves_boolean_dtype with safe assertions
(assert / assert not) to comply with linting rules.
