Black screen with cursor after regular update

I've ran

sudo pacman -Syu

and rebooted as usual. After the reboot I was met with a "Could not load plugins" error. I've went into tty and ran

plasmashell

. It displayed this (this was also the same error as on login screen):

plasmashell: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libQt5WaylandClient.so.5: file too short

Re: Black screen with cursor after regular update

pacman -Qkk qt5-wayland

but there're probably more damaged files:

LC_ALL=C pacman -Qkk | grep -v ', 0 altered files'

Too aggressive https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Solid_state_drive#TRIM ? Or did you hard-reboot or get other filesystem errors?
