Description
I used Xcodes to update to xcode 16.1. I am still showing in the Mac Settings for Available Updates that 16.1 is an update.
I am not sure Xcodes is supposed to suppress that or whether MacOS is supposed to detect that 16.1 is already on my computer.
I am just looking for an explanation....

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Xcode 16.1 installation through Xcodes and checking whether macOS Settings still lists 16.1 as available. Read the Xcodes installation and version-detection entry points, if identified during investigation, and compare the installed version with the value reported by macOS. Done means explaining whether Xcodes or macOS is responsible, with evidence from the reproduction.
