Month 1 Labs

Three labs, done in order. Each has its own folder with a full spec. The lab attempt floor and the no-AI rule apply to every one.

Lab Folder Time budget Floor What you build
1.1 Hardware Inventory lab-01-hardware-inventory/ 8 to 10 h 60 min A Bash inventory script and the habit of enumerating any host
1.2 EFI Shell and the Boot Process lab-02-efi-shell-boot/ 10 to 12 h 60 min A corrected mental model of the boot chain, firmware to kernel
1.3 picoCTF General Skills lab-03-picoctf-general-skills/ 10 to 12 h 45 min per stuck challenge Bare-hands shell fluency and the no-flag-confirmation habit

Do all three, commit a notebook entry for each, and write the end-of-month boot-process deliverable (see ../deliverable.md) before you advance to Month 2.
