Description
Currently the only way to configure the shim is through its console, before the OS has booted.
This is unfortunate for headless setups and people that require assistive technologies to use their computers.
Having a way to view logs, errors messages and manages keys from a rich OS would be very helpful.
This is a clarification of #391 which was wrongly closed.

Research direction
Start by reviewing issue #391 and the shim's existing pre-boot console configuration flow. Define the scope for rich-OS access to logs, error messages, and key management, then determine how completion and testing would be established across supported environments.
