to remedy, I performed a series of steps:
I forced a reinstall of the packages that might be related to xdm:
sudo apk fix postmarketos-ui-sxmo sxmo-xdm-config sxmo-xdm-config-openrc xdm xdm-openrc
then I forced a reinstall of the kernel to force a reflash to /boot (from memory, package might be different):
sudo apk fix linux-postmarketos-allwinner
then I set xdm as the default run level:
sudo rc-update add xdm default
then I restarted. I may have performed some unnecessary steps, but I got it resolved *shrug*
the phone is charging now, so we'll see if I have to fix any further damage later. when I started, it was at 14%. it doesn't like charging while the screen is on, which it has been all day at the login screen. it also doesn't like to charge over 90% so I'm not sure what that's about.
