After upgrade, all ALSA cards stayed Acive Profile: off

Machine: MacBookPro11,5 - 15" Retina Mid-2015; Broadcom combo Wi-Fi/BT
uname: 7.0.5-arch1-1
Sound:pipewire, pipewire-pulse, wireplumber, alsa
Description: After turning off a bluetooth headset and upgrading packages, sound was totally off. Default sink pointed at missing: bluez_output; only auto_null.
Fix:

pactl set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1b.0 output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo

Diagnosis: The reboot after reinstall with stale bluetooth creates a hostile edge in the desktop audio + BT + rolling stack, needs holistic testing and some kind of recovery/prevention mechanism.
