How do I fix kernel panic on iPhone 16 Pro?

i have an iPhone 16 Pro on iOS 18.5, and half an hour ago i was using it then it suddenly shut down. once booted up again i immediately went looking for the logs in the privacy and security settings and i found the full panic error. now, last time i had a “check-up” on my phone at the Genius Bar in the Apple Store everything was fine. could it have been just a software problem? or should i plan for the worst?
