Description

the internal key for signing fb.efi and mm.efi should be optional, and shouldn't be created by default. It also should have a much, much better name than "Testing CA Certificate".

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how the internal signing key and the “Testing CA Certificate” are generated for fb.efi and mm.efi, then identify the existing signing tests or build checks; done means generation is optional, disabled by default, and the certificate has an agreed clearer name.
