On fresh macOS install, skip doctor fails #608
Description
Steps to reproduce
Using UTM I installed a VM with a fresh copy of macOS Tahoe 26.2. (I created it with 16GB of RAM and 84 GB of disk; the default 64 wasn't enough for Xcode + iOS SDK, Android Studio + Android SDK, etc.)
VMs aren't allowed to use the App Store, so I then went to https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=Xcode and downloaded https://download.developer.apple.com/Developer_Tools/Xcode_26.2/Xcode_26.2_Apple_silicon.xip. I unxipped it it and copied Xcode.app into my Applications folder, without opening it.
Then, I ran /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" and then the post-install steps to add Homebrew to my path, and ran brew install skiptools/skip/skip. Then, I ran skip doctor --verbose. It failed.
Actual results
skip doctor --verbose failed.
