fatal: Failed to traverse parents of commit 74a44cad7a7c033323a873e9808e8771a21b2286

I tried following some instructions I found that seemed to correspond to what I was experiencing, but I broke the web interface, if needed I can rebuild, but of course I'd rather not

You are halfway between V5 and V6.

Try this:

sudo pihole -r

It may not work, since you don't have the git status for the core element:
