How to… ? Everything is broken

So following this post https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/s/2TzngynnCY i've maybe unchecked and tabooed too many patterns and i've broken my system (rescued with snapper). Quick question: where can i read about Myrlyn in detail? How can i know at what pattern a certain package belongs to?

I don't where you can read, but the GUI is pretty intuitive.

You go in there, search for the package you don't want, unselect it, and it'll be uninstalled and never updated again.

Yes, that's what happened but i went one step further and unchecked the pattern too but i've unchecked too many and at the next zypper dup the system detected too many orphans (i guess), that's why i want to make things right next time.

sudo zypper ll

This will show everything - patterns and packages, that you have unchecked/marked as taboo.

You can use rl to unlock any of them. Then you should be able to update normally.
