I had a kernel panic a few weeks ago that left the OS in a state where it was unable to boot. It seemed to think it was mid-upgrade and was complaining about missing the packages an upgrade would read from. Thankfully macOS has an in-place OS reinstall option and as far as I’ve been able to see all my data is totally fine. But it was bizarre and I’ve never experienced anything like it in a decade of using Macs.
