The restriction requiring --empty= to be require, force, or create when using --el-torito= is unnecessary. context_verify_eltorito_overlap() already validates that the ISO 9660 blocks don't collide with GPT partition entries or the first usable LBA, which is sufficient to guarantee safety regardless of the empty mode. This is needed for two-stage image builds where the first stage creates the usr and verity partitions, and the second stage adds --el-torito= to produce a bootable ISO with a UKI containing usrhash= derived from the verity hash of the first stage. In the second stage, repart runs with --empty=allow since the image already exists. Co-developed-by: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
