Agreed. This option is recommended. I hope U-Boot scans the devices
before running this early capsule-on-disk so that it can find the
appropriate storage for ESP, but anyway it works.

Yes if there is a capsule to be updated, and they will see the new
u-boot coming back soon.
I guess the reason why the capsule-on-disk runs at first, is to avoid
inconsistent status for users, or we can postpone the capsule update
until running "efidebug capsule disk" command. If that is correct,
shouldn't we avoid showing the firmware "to be updated" too?

Thank you,
