Newbie: Can I recover from this mistake?

Sorry... another question. Making Forkish's Pain de Campagne hybrid bread recipe from levain. All has proceeded just as he said, except I misunderstood the timing of one step and so my 5 hours of countertop proofing ended at 3 AM. (I set my alarm to divide the dough for another 12 hrs of refrigerator proofing). I'll blame it on the early hour, but I did not realize that he says that this is the step where you fold it and the dough becomes a nice firm ball. I put it in the fridge still sticky (barely able to handle it). Mistake.

So, can I recover from this? Can I do the folding immediately when it comes out of the fridge to get a firm boule and then put it in the banneton (either with or without the refrigerator) for just a bit longer before baking? Forkish says he bakes straight from the refrigerator.

ANSWERING MY OWN QUESTION: Sometimes it helps just to type things out and that slows down the mind. I realized that I can't bake until this afternoon anyway... the end of the 12 hour refrigerator proof would be 3:15 PM... so I thought there should be no harm to folding now (8 AM) and returning it to the fridge for the remaining 7 hours. The sticky dough came out of the tea towel cleaning and I folded and shaped into firmer balls and returned them to the tea towels in baskets (enclosed in plastic garbage bags) in the fridge.

Will I be OK? So all I should have left is to preheat the oven and dutch ovens and pitch these into them straight out of the fridge, right? (Some slashing to the tops). Sorry to be such a worry wart. If all goes according to schedule I should have the results around 4 PM!
