Research direction

Start by reproducing the PCR_UNUSABLE result with ubuntu-26.04-desktop-amd64.iso on the Lenovo X13 Gen 3, including the secure-boot and TPM-backed FDE setup described. Trace where the verification event and PCR_UNUSABLE result are handled; done means identifying the cause and confirming a fix or a clearly documented limitation.
