macOS Ventura Kernel Panic, Anyone?

Question

I just experienced the first kernel panic ever on my M1 Macbook Air, running MacOS Ventura. I was editing my app in VSCode, with Firefox open in the background, when suddenly it froze, waited two seconds, and then rebooted. I am mildly annoyed because my workflow was interrupted, but luckily most of my work was saved.Having ran Big Sur and Monterey without issue, this is the first time that I've had a kernel panic on MacOS (I'm familiar with them on Linux haha). Anyone else experienced a random panic on Ventura?

I have. I was (coincidentally?) sending a link from my iPhone by Airdrop. The screen went black. I had to force-reboot. The computer seemed to take a long time to boot after the password prompt, and then restarted. I made a mistake at the second password prompt, and it took minutes to try again. Third time's the charm, touch wood.
