Screen locking while updating macOS - stopping update

I am installing the 14.5 beta2 update last night (however this has happened on non beta releases too) and I wake up with his morning to see the login screen. I enter my password and the update screen is “paused” with 6 minutes to go and then immediately begins completing. I’ve noticed this happening in the past as well and disregarded it. This can’t be normal during an update for the login screen to appear and stop installations. I was forced to post this in the beta forum by Apple.. "We removed your post “Screen locking while updating macOS - stopping update because it contained information about beta software. "

Can't find compatible version of xCode from App Store!

I previously downloaded Xcode from the Mac App Store but I recenlty had to Restore my installation of MacOS. This deleted Xcode from my install. I went to the App Store to re-download a compatible version. I see the icon showing that it's been downloaded before, cloud with a arrow facing down. When I click on that I get a message: We could not complete your purchase. Xcode can't be installed on "iMac" because macOS version 10.15.2 or later is required."First, why doesn't it just download a compatible version?Second, it shows that it's Compatible with the computer on the App Store page for this App.Third, looking in my purchase history the version that is compatible doesn't show up as ever being downloaded.So I search on the Developer site for an older but compatible version. Nowhere, in any of the version notes, does it say which version is compatible with Mojave!Am I missing something or is it supposed to be this difficult to re-install Xcode after doing a Restore?Appreciate any help.
