…or handling This commit adds two important improvements to PackageInfo decoding: 1. **Add strictMemorySafety support**: Adds the strictMemorySafety setting introduced in Swift Package Manager 6.2 (SE-0458). This setting enables strict memory safety checking and was causing decoding failures when packages used this new setting. 2. **Improve error handling**: Wraps legacy format decoding in a try-catch block with a custom SettingDecodingError that provides actionable diagnostics including: - Exact location in the JSON structure (coding path) - Which tool the setting was for - Available keys in the malformed setting - Helpful guidance about likely causes Changes: - Add strictMemorySafety case to SettingName enum - Add strictMemorySafety(String) case to Kind enum - Add SettingDecodingError with descriptive error messages - Handle strictMemorySafety in decoder switch statement - Handle strictMemorySafety in encoder switch statement This fixes decoding errors like: ``` keyNotFound(CodingKeys(stringValue: "name", intValue: nil), ...) ``` And replaces them with: ``` Failed to decode target build setting at 'targets.Index 3.settings.Index 0'. Expected either 'kind' (Xcode 14+ format) or 'name' (legacy format) key, but neither was found. Tool: swift Available keys: tool, condition, kind ``` 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
This PR adds support for the
strictMemorySafetySwiftSetting introduced in Swift Package Manager 6.2 (SE-0458) and significantly improves error handling for malformed package settings.Problem
When using Swift 6.2 with packages that enable strict memory safety checking via
.strictMemorySafety(), Tuist was failing with cryptic decoding errors:This happened because:
strictMemorySafetysetting typeKinddecoder failed, it fell back to legacy formatChanges
