I actually got it fully booted this time but without successfully decrypting and mounting swap and somehow this lead to the drive either dying or being incompletely removed from the boot process and this is also blocking booting what a fun time

a trick for the future: if you don't need hibernation, you can set up the swap partition to use an ephemeral key and avoid needing to decrypt it on boot (basically reformat it every time)
