2012 iMac stuck at boot

I was having a minor issue and decided to reconfigure the OCLP settings on my Late 2012 27” iMac running the latest Ventura.

While running the post install root patch, I noticed a log message saying it was cancelled due to already being installed, but it prompted a reboot anyway. I reboot, but now the iMac gets stuck after the boot selector. I have verbose enabled and it’s getting stuck at these lines every time: ''' Waiting for remote debugger connection Waiting for Link to become available '''
