Review Checklist for HW/SW Boot Contract focuses on first-boot success rate, boot regression frequency. The goal is to map symptoms to boundary contracts, owner actions, and regression-proof closure.
Baseline manifest and revision are explicit.
Boundary contracts for this topic are current and approved.
Ownership map covers all open issues.
Focused and full regression evidence both exist.
Residual risks are either closed or bounded via waiver policy.
Owners signed: firmware lead, security lead, integration lead.
OWNERSHIP MAP — HW/SW Boot Contract

----------------- -----------------
primary owner firmware lead
co-owner security lead
review owner integration lead
No top-level issue should remain ownerless beyond one review cycle.Address, interrupt, and IO contracts are where hardware/software alignment is won or lost.

Ask: what baseline, owner, and artifact prove this topic is truly closed?
State baseline manifest and owner with every closure metric.
Run cross-domain regression after every top-level fix.
Comparing results across different manifests.
Unowned issues slipping through review cycles.
Waiving risks without expiry and validation plan.
Boot contracts formalize reset defaults, strap behavior, secure-boot expectations, and firmware ordering dependencies.
