Description
Describe the bug
I was recently trying to install an updated xcode on a machine with a small hard drive. The target drive didn't have enough space to unxip properly, and when using the unxip experiment, xcodes hung on the unxipping step. When i turned that experiment off, i shortly got a popup saying there wasn't enough space on the drive to unxip properly.
To Reproduce
Have xcodes try to download/unxip/install to a drive that doesn't have enough space to unxip properly, while using the unxip experiment.
Expected behavior
Any errors produced by unxip experiment should be surfaced and communicated to the user, rather than just hanging in the unxip process.

Research direction
Start by locating the unxip experiment's extraction entry point and reproduce installation with insufficient space on the target drive. Trace how extraction errors are handled and verify that the failure is surfaced to the user instead of leaving the process hanging; add or update the relevant test if the project provides one.
