    Don't worry about it, dealer service tech's do that when you're not looking

    You said you drove a few meters in this condition. How many miles is that? :)

    If you didn't smell the aroma of overheating brakes, then it wasn't that bad.

    That would be 0.3 mile, which rounds to about zero. I've done worse on farm machinery, and witnessed far worse on traditional cars, without repairs needed. None were even remotely as bad as the dragging caliper problems I've had on two cars.

    You haven't mentioned any burning brake aroma, or smoke. If they were absent, or even weak, I'd just chalk this up to embarrassment.
