Anaconda Navigator, MacOS Tahoe - broken after latest update attempt

Hi there - I’ve been using Anaconda Navigator/Jupyter Notebooks/Jupyter lab for a few semesters now as I wind my way through some extended-learning courses.

I got a prompt for a new update this week, and as I usually do on the Mac, clicked the “Install” button - this usually works but blew up on me once before.

Long story short: Install did not appear to do anything/process hung - I let it run all night after restarting, same results.

AND NOW- I cannot start Navigator at all, no error, no anything on the Mac desktop. Here’s what I get if I try to start on the CLI:

Can I recover this somehow, or do I need to figure out how to reinstall the whole thing? Really inconvenient as I’m in the middle of two courses that use this. Just my luck!

Thanks.
