Mid 2012 Macbook Pro Retina - Open Core Sonoma 14.5

Hey all, I guess an update installed last night, when i booted it had the white background, i went to install root patches and the computer froze halfway through. i left it alone for an hour, nothing moved couldn’t move the mouse or anything. so I probably messed up and reset it. since then the boot screen loads to about 40% & stops. I have a lot of work stuff on here, but i’m feeling only option is to wipe and reinstall macos?
