• Explanation: Previously, in order to diagnose ABI breakages, the driver needs to first import the generated Swift interface, which requires us to set up search paths correctly. Since we now generate the ABI descriptor JSON file alongside the Swift module/interface, we should be able to use these JSON files directly without importing the generated Swift interface, bypassing the problem space of setting search paths properly for the ABI checker invocation as a result.
