Description

Parent: #190

Goal

Make supported behavior and intentional policy differences explicit relative to EDK2 BdsDxe/UefiBootManagerLib.

Coverage

  • BootOrder, BootNext, BootCurrent, active/inactive and duplicate options
  • OptionalData and maximum-size variables
  • Driver, SysPrep, Boot, and PlatformRecovery option categories
  • EndOfDxe, ReadyToBoot, Before/AfterConsole, and platform event ordering
  • watchdog, console, OS indications, deferred images, and failure behavior

Acceptance criteria

  • matrix labels each behavior supported, platform-policy, intentionally unsupported, or planned
  • every supported row links to a host, QEMU, or hardware test
  • upstream API documentation defines compatibility expectations
  • OEMs can identify migration gaps without reading implementation source
