Research direction
Reproduce the failure in the project generator using the Git Ignore template on Mac OS 26 with Xcode 26, then compare generation with and without that template. Inspect the generator's Git Ignore handling and generated Xcode project output; done means a new OF app generates without the “Unsupported Xcode project file format” error.
