Implemented a minimal UEFI kernel (PE32+) that follows a strict service-oriented architecture. The kernel uses an event loop and a service registry to initialize components like console and memory. It successfully loads and executes a shell program from the filesystem. The build system is configured for x86_64 EFI development using gnu-efi.
