I would also grab photos of the sticker in the box that shows list of the compatible breakers & the melted breaker.
Sounds you you were very lucky that the heat was contained!
My parents breaker box exploded when I was a teen. Apparently one of the breakers didn't have good contact. Every time our pool pump when on it was arcing. Eventually something melted enough to cross the two bus bars and a good section of the bus bar melted in an explosion.
The windows on the car that was parked on that side of the garage were pitted by the molten metal.
