Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the template settings through the VM deployment wizard for the XCP-ng path, comparing the saved UEFI Secure setting with the launch-time boot option. Reproduce with CloudStack 4.22.1.0 and XCP-ng 8.3, then verify that a VM launched from a UEFI-enabled template defaults to UEFI Secure rather than BIOS.
