Head over to the installer page, select the Air-1 and flash it from there. You’ll also get the most up to date firmware there. https://install.apolloautomation.com/
Hi! No worries, this is something you can recover from.
The Starter Kit does not ship with firmware, so there isn’t anything specific that needs to be restored. The firmware is built and installed as part of the setup process, and the wiki walks you through each step.
I’d recommend starting over from First Steps in the wiki and following the instructions there rather than using an AI-generated configuration. When you get to Boot Mode, put the board into boot mode and install the firmware over USB. This will replace whatever is currently on the board and should get you back to a clean setup with Wi-Fi and OTA updates.
The fact that you tried an ESP32 configuration first isn’t a problem. A fresh USB install using the correct ESP32-C6 configuration should get you back on track.
