Summary
Why
The userspace foundation merged in #13 intentionally stopped at embedded processes because PMM, VMM, context switching, ELF loading, and blocking synchronization were still stubs. This change replaces those boundaries with executable implementations so processes can own address spaces, switch stacks, load executable images, and sleep without busy-waiting.
