ok, here is what I did... once I remembered I have a older hard drive from a 2015 failure on a 21" snow leopard.
attached with a sata USB from a de-gutted WD external drive.
Used this a start up disc to migrate over user info.
it failed twice ( stuck on the last 22 minutes), hit cancel try again.
It worked, and allowed me in.
Long story but Big Sur upgrade crashed, and did something in the Time Machine back up.
Once I was in with my Apple ID, files were still there, so everything is back, manual labour at least. but I ever have my CS6 back.
sorry ...but you wanted to know
