Analyzes and optimizes the Breenix kernel boot process from bootloader handoff to system ready state.
This skill provides a specialized framework for diagnosing and refining the Breenix OS boot sequence. It helps developers track initialization phases—including memory allocation, GDT/IDT setup, and driver loading—to identify performance bottlenecks, resolve kernel hangs, and ensure correct subsystem ordering. By providing structured techniques for log analysis and checkpoint verification, it streamlines the kernel debugging process and facilitates boot time optimization through detailed timeline extraction and regression analysis.
