Summary

Add a standalone Kali Linux Rolling image with XFCE and kali-linux-everything.
Configure PS5 boot/display support, automatic root expansion, zram, reliable IPv4 time sync, and kernel update protection.
Add Kali to the builder workflow and document first-boot and kernel considerations.

Validation

Built a 96 GiB Kali image using PS5 patches v1.2 and kernel 7.0.10.
Verified the GPT/FAT32/ext4 layout, boot files, labels, package state, dependencies, and filesystem integrity.
Flashed and boot-tested the generated image on a PS5 Phat running firmware 4.03, including desktop boot and Android USB tethering.
