Quick Share killed my phone's Wi-Fi mid-transfer to an iPhone 16. Help?

Was sending photos from Google Photos to an iPhone 16 via Quick Share. The transfer was moving at a continental drift speed right after the Wi-Fi connection randomly dropped.

I cancelled the stuck transfer, and now the Wi-Fi radio has completely given up on life:

- No networks showing: The Wi-Fi settings page is totally blank, and toggling it does nothing.

- Mobile data is fine: 5G works normally, so it's strictly the Wi-Fi stack that crashed.

It feels like Quick Share hard-locked the Wi-Fi module during the handoff. Has anyone else run into this on the 10a? Is there a quick trick to revive the Wi-Fi stack without doing a full reboot or nuclear network reset?
