Lineage-23.0-20251013-NIGHTLY-pro1x with October 1st security patch installed smoothly using the Lineage upgrade procedure linked in the OP. It was installed with MindtheGapps 16 and Magisk 29 installed as a zip for SU only. all data was preserved in the upgrade. I did have to open the Magisk app to let it run an update, but root was established. All went according to plan and everything seems to be working so far.
