Bug Description

Following a mainboard replacement, I installed daily Noble with TPM FDE and stored the recovery key from `snap recovery --show-keys`.

I then proceeded to clear the TPM to check that I would be able to recover, and while the system booted after prompting for the key, it didn't re-enroll it into the TPM, which means I have to re-enter it every time.

The documentation [1] states this should not be the case:

> Ubuntu Core will decrypt the device, proceed with the boot, and restore the TPM from the recovered key.

Attached is the output from the debug script.
