Update from 2023.8.3 to 2023.9.3 failed - Supervisor stuck in state: shutdown

Installation
1

Using the CLI to update from 8.3 to 9.3. Was taking an unusually long time… Eventually it timed out and was greeted with an error: supervisor failed to update blah blah client timeout.

I rebooted Homeassistant twice, no luck
Rebooted the host, no luck

I no longer have access to the Addons (no supervisor) but while I was still connected to SSH i tried:

ha supervisor repair
ha supervisor restart
ha supervisor reload

All gave me an error: system is not ready with state: shutdown.

I no longer have the option of rebooting the host from Dev tools, and I dont think the restart Home Assistant is really working as my other tab logged into lovelace never loses connection.

Ideas?

I went Nuclear and power cycled the host.
Everything came back. But I am still at 2023.8.3 and a little gun shy about trying the update again. I mean the Horror of having to turn lights on myself!
