I have not been able to address it properly this time.
After a pacman -Syu updates linux headers, the EFI partition lacks a linux file. initrd, and initramfs are properly created, but not the linux system file.
Typically, it means a bootctl list gives:
type: Boot Loader Specification Type #1 (.conf)
title: EndeavourOS (6.5.4-arch2-1) (default) (not reported/new)
id: 2b9af3d6a9134b098bef542b429019b7-6.5.4-arch2-1.conf
source: /efi//loader/entries/2b9af3d6a9134b098bef542b429019b7-6.5.4-arch2-1.conf
sort-key: endeavouros-6.5.4-arch3-1
version: 6.5.4-arch2-1
machine-id: 2b9af3d6a9134b098bef542b429019b7
linux: /efi//2b9af3d6a9134b098bef542b429019b7/6.5.4-arch2-1/linux (No such file or directory)
initrd: /efi//2b9af3d6a9134b098bef542b429019b7/6.5.4-arch2-1/initrd
options: nvme_load=YES nowatchdog rw root=UUID=1ce8fca0-d412-48cc-a63d-a3960dc90b65 systemd.machine_id=2b9af3d6a9134b098bef542b429019b7
The fallback is 6.5.3-arch1 so it cannot be copied over.
How can I get this linux system file created now? (I have not reboot so I’m still with an activate 6.5.3 system).

#
# REPOSITORIES
# - can be defined here or included from another file
# - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
# - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
# - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
# have identical names, regardless of version number
# - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
# - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
# [repo-name]
# Server = ServerName
# Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#
# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.
