validate-iso.sh had three bugs preventing successful validation:
1. ((counter++)) returns exit 1 when counter is 0, causing set -e to
kill the script in Phase 1/2 (Phase 0 was protected by ||). Fixed
by using counter=$((counter + 1)) syntax.
2. isoinfo pipe to grep was unreliable; switched to capturing listing
to a variable first, then grepping the variable.
3. Boot detection matched "boot" in UEFI firmware messages, triggering
false positive at 10s before GRUB loaded. Updated to detect UEFI
BdsDxe boot messages as valid boot evidence, with note that GRUB
serial output requires console=ttyS0 configuration.
Validation results: 11 PASS, 0 FAIL, 2 SKIP (mount needs root,
GRUB serial needs config). ISO is confirmed bootable.
STATUS.md updated from stale 2026-02-19 data (562 tests, 816MB ISO)
to actual 2026-05-01 state (786 tests, 824MB ISO, validated).
