Xcode 26 Beta 3: missing Metal Toolchain

`NSWorkspace.open` cannot deal with `xcodeproj`
Hello. I could wrong, but it seems NSWorkspace.open cannot open xcodeproj. When I try to do so in my sandboxed App, the App would hang the thread, causing NSWorkspace.open not responsive in the following calls. If called on the @main thread, then bad luck, it would cause dead lock. Callings this function on a normal file, such as .txt, or in a Command line Tool works perfectly. Is there anything obvious that I missed? I have permissions to read/write the files, as indicated by url.resourceValues(forKeys: [.isWritableKey]).isWritable.
