What does this PR do?

Allows xtool to auto-update the Darwin SDK format when there's a new Darwin toolset, or when we change the SDK format. Downstream this also allows us to auto-update when there's changes to OpenAppleMacros (#101).

One callout: the disk footprint of darwin.artifactbundle is now ~7 GB instead of ~3 GB.

Reason: xtool sdk install /path/to/Xcode.[app|xip] now performs a "normal" install by default, which preserves the entirety of Xcode.app/Contents/Developer — even the bits we don't currently use, like AppleTVOS.platform. This makes it so if we start using more components in the future, the user doesn't need to download Xcode again and rebuild the SDK themselves.

You can still build an old-style SDK (containing just the components we need) using xtool sdk install --slim or the dedicated xtool sdk build.

How was it tested?

Tested all of the install modes. Confirmed that auto-updating works. Added integration tests in #252.

P1 Badge Preserve the old SDK until the replacement is installed

If the final install fails—for example while locating/copying the host Clang headers—this removal has already deleted the working SDK after moving its retained Xcode.app into sdkURL. Unwinding then destroys TemporaryDirectory, so the user loses both the installed SDK and the Xcode copy intended to make updates self-contained, forcing a full download and reinstall; keep the old bundle or a recoverable backup until the replacement has been committed successfully.

CodeRabbit blocks several paths by default. You can override this behavior by explicitly including those paths in the path filters. For example, including **/dist/** will override the default block on the dist directory, by removing the pattern from both the lists.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds Darwin SDK flavor detection, temporary bundle installation, slim and normal build modes, SDK update commands, and automatic SDK availability checks. It also adds filesystem tests and improves copy error reporting.

Changes

Darwin SDK lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
SDK bundle management
Sources/PackLib/DarwinSDK.swift, Tests/XToolTests/DarwinSDKTests.swift
DarwinSDK resolves SwiftPM directories, classifies SDK flavors, prepares temporary bundles, and synchronously locates installed bundles. Tests cover directory resolution and temporary bundle cleanup.
SDK build and extraction modes
Sources/XToolSupport/SDKBuilder.swift, Sources/XUtils/Foundation+Utils.swift, Package.swift
SDKBuilder supports slim, normal, and update modes. It handles XIP and app inputs, hard links, metadata, cancellation, cleanup, and shared tool versions. Copy failures include captured subprocess output. PackLib adds the Superutils product dependency.
SDK command orchestration
Sources/XToolSupport/SDKCommand.swift, Sources/XToolSupport/SetupCommand.swift, Sources/XToolSupport/DevCommand.swift
SDK commands add slim installation and update operations. SDK checks select actions for current, outdated, legacy, and missing installations. Setup and build planning invoke the availability check.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 09b50

An installation or update failure can leave users without a working Darwin SDK or its retained Xcode bundle. These replacement paths should be made transactional before merge.

Validate the temporary SDK before removing the installed SDK.

DarwinSDK(bundle:) accepts any directory named darwin.artifactbundle.tmp as a legacy SDK. An empty or malformed .xtoolsdk can therefore pass this check. InstallSDKOperation.run() removes the existing SDK before TemporaryBundle.install() calls the fallible addHostClangResourceDir(to:). For an empty bundle, that preparation can fail because the expected SDK include path is missing, leaving the user without the existing SDK.

Validate the required SDK layout and complete all fallible preparation before removing the existing bundle. Then replace the existing bundle atomically.
