I managed to avoid this this morning (I've been resisting the attempted
upgrade to CLT 15.0) by looking to see what was proposed, seeing that
there were 2 upgrades (Ventura & CLT), and unchecking the CLT.

Iain Sandoe recommends[1] re-installing 14.3 (you should be able to
download it from the developer.apple.com website, although you do need
an apple ID to do that)
