agent view in Xcode
Question: Is there a recommended workflow for using Xcode's agent chat, given its current UI limitations? Context: I can't view my source code / project settings and the agent chat at the same time — it's one or the other. Worse, if I start typing in the chat bubble and then switch views to copy some text from my code, whatever I'd typed in the bubble gets lost. This makes even simple tasks painful. For example, the agent can't modify project settings directly while a chat is open, so I end up trying to follow a long list of setup instructions from the chat while constantly toggling to the settings view to actually make each change — it's a nightmare. Because of this, I end up doing anything non-trivial in VS Code with the command line instead, which is ironic since VS Code isn't even my first choice for SwiftUI work. I'm using version 27RC, so I'm starting to worry that this is the final design.

Mac mini M2 Pro SOS blinking power light after rebooting to complete Tahoe 26 Beta 9 update from beta 8
While using Mac mini M2 Pro, with Tahoe 26 Beta 8, Apple pushed out Beta 9. Haven't have any issues before with the auto update process. This time however it rebooted as part of the normal update process and is now stuck at the flashing SOS power light. I can't even boot into the recovery menu using Command+R key press at power on. This message is intended to serve as a warning regarding Tahoe Beta 9 and a request for advice to recovermy expensive brick!
