Description
Tell us how we can improve Xcodes
Would be nice to have an option that was basically "just download Xcode but don't worry about the privileged helper bits."

NA
What would you like to see? How would you like it to work?
Instinct is just a checkbox in prefs for "don't activate" or something. If that sounds okay, I can take a look at implementing later.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the preferences UI and the privileged helper flow, then clarify how opting out affects downloads and activation. Done should include a user preference that reliably permits downloading Xcode without activating the helper, with coverage for both preference states.
