Xcode 26 references a local package twice for test

My project uses about 10 local packages. When Xcode determins its dependencies graph it includes project Foo (a package) and project Foo_Foo (???). This is a no op for normal builds, but causes the Foo package to be linked twice for test builds which then fail due to duplicate symbols.

Nowhere in my repository is Foo_Foo defined or reference. Nowhere in the .xcodeproj/ folder is there mention of Foo_Foo.

What am I doing wrong?

Resolved. Of course I did it to myself, but #Xcode could have warned me.

Package dependencies either direct or indirect in my project are A <- B <- C <- D <- E <- App where x <- y means x is a dependency of y. I was writing tests for package C. To make test setup easier I called functions in package D and E, adding D and E as dependencies to C. Oops. Don't do that. Apparently adding C and C_C is how Xcode handles circular dependencies.
