How to check if im in uefi boot mode?

Arch wiki says running the command ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars will show you if the dir exists or not which means you are in uefi if it does exist which is my case i then ran the bootctl install command which gave me this output that did make some directories but after copying 2 things it said mount point /boot is world accessible which is a security hole and same thing for boot/loader/random-seed at the end it said not booted with efi or running in a container. Am i in the right boot mode or whatever?? (Not sure if important but this is a distro hop so i didnt partition the disk myself i just formatted to xfs and mounted)

so the common advice when one tries to start contributing to open source is to choose projects he likes and uses and so i did and ive been stuck in this phase of only fixing typos and adding documentation which is interesting and very slowly im beginning to understand the code base but i see the main contributor doing like 4-6 pushes a day and none of them are connected to the few issues open, is there a point when you start knowing what to do? i even tried to ask in a pull request with no answer
