Ok, I may have answered one of my questions. I downloaded the XCode 
14.3.1 Command Line Tools from https://developer.apple.com/download/all/ 
and tried to install them on Sonoma and the installer will not let me 
stating the "OS is too new". I guess Xcode 15 is the minimum for Sonoma.

Now I will try the "Command Line Tools for Xcode 15" from the same Apple 
download page.
