val read_option :
  ?include_inherited:bool ->
  Options.scope -> string -> Options.value option Command.t
```

Read one exact name, including user-option inheritance. `None` means no entry under the selected policy. An invalid target remains an error. The default follows inheritance; this does not identify the defining parent scope.

## Parameters

- `include_inherited?` (`bool`)
- `arg1` (`Options.scope`)
- `arg2` (`string`)
