From d3d0e8ef4035b7a397ed623a97604679bfd00c47 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Craig Jennings Date: Sun, 25 Jan 2026 07:36:24 -0600 Subject: Add LUKS testing infrastructure and documentation - Add setup_luks_testing_keyfile() for automated LUKS testing - Modify configure_crypttab() and configure_luks_initramfs() for keyfile support - Fix configure_btrfs_initramfs() to preserve encrypt hook when LUKS enabled - Add TESTING=yes to LUKS test configs - Create docs/TESTING-STRATEGY.org documenting testing approach LUKS automated reboot testing remains a work-in-progress due to complexity of sending passphrase to initramfs encrypt hook.
