Description
xcodes can resume installation using a downloaded xip if it finds it in the expected location (its application support directory) when you run the install command. This is useful when unarchiving failed during the first run, often because of a lack of disk space. xcodes should explain this when unarchiving fails so that users know to re-run the same command instead of manually unarchiving the xip file.

Research direction
Start at the install command and locate the handling for an unarchive failure and the existing downloaded XIP in the application support directory. Verify the failure path explains that rerunning the same command can resume installation, and confirm the message does not instruct users to manually unarchive the XIP.
