Description

I have a feeling it's a bit too complicated. But unlocking the luks root drive with face will be really convenient.

Thanks for the awesome project. Took a while to get things working(my fault for not reading the doc properly), but it feels really nice to use now.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Begin by investigating how LUKS2 root-partition unlocking occurs during Linux boot and how Howdy's facial authentication could fit that process; define the supported flow and verify it safely before implementation.
