Description
I originally thought it was an Xcode bug and wrote Apple (FB11637854). Their response was
It’s an LLDB contract that breakpoint names cannot have a space. Xcode is a client of LLDB and thus respects the contract. xcodegen is not an Apple tool and thus it is up to them to respect the LLDB contract as well.

Research direction
No files or tests are identified in the issue. Start by locating how XcodeGen handles breakpoint names and inspect related validation and test coverage; confirm the expected behavior against LLDB's restriction on spaces. Done means breakpoint names containing spaces are no longer accepted or generated, with coverage for that case.
