Research direction
The issue names no source files or tests; start by running xcodes installed and locating the CLI handling for Xcode artifacts under ~/Library/Application Support/com.robotsandpencils.xcodes. Done means an explicit cleanup option can remove old beta .xip and app files without removing the selected /Applications/Xcode.app.
