So, which part are you confused about?  Did you think there was some
easy way to FIX a frankendebian?  Are you confused because you keep
thinking "there must be some single apt command that will do all the
work for me"?

There's not.  You get to do all the work by hand.

You will most likely need to remove the testing versions of these packages
(apache2, git and so on) and then install the bookworm versions afterward.

The things to watch out for are config files (hence your backup), and
any crazy dependency situations.  In the ideal case, you'll simply be
able to remove all the packages that aren't libs, then downgrade the
libs, then reinstall the packages.  And make sure you have sensible
config files.  If you get stuck, there's always the big hammer
(dpkg --force-depends and so on).

If/when it breaks, you get to reinstall from scratch.

This is why we tell people DO NOT MIX BINARY PACKAGES FROM MULTIPLE
RELEASES.
