Description
If one xcodeproj references another, a crash occurs when calling the project.write function.
This happens in the PBXProjEncoder.sortProjectReferences function because lFile.name is nil, yet a forced unwrap is performed.

Research direction
Start at PBXProjEncoder.sortProjectReferences, the function identified as crashing when lFile.name is nil, and reproduce the failure with two referencing xcodeproj files. Trace the referenced-file sorting path and verify that project.write completes without crashing when the name is absent; add coverage for that case if the existing test layout supports it.
