Do not install Ventura 13.6.8 on 2013 iMac

I just did and effectively bricked it. It boots, but not stable enough to actually log in and finish the patching.

Also struggling to recover, as I can't restore TimeMachine or an older version of Ventura (both blocked by their respective installers.

Some sort of safe mode would be nice. Recovery partition won't even boot.

The irony is that it worked beautifully on 13.6.7
