Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the attached “Light2DStripRepro.zip” project
2. Run Repro > F4 - Build with a deleted scene in the scene list
3. Observe the Console window

Actual results: “ArgumentException: Scene file not found: 'Assets/Scenes/Deleted.unity’.” Error is thrown in the Console window

Expected results: deleted or missing entries are skipped (as the !enabled case already is), and no exception is thrown in the Console window

Reproducible with versions: 6000.7.0b3, 7000.0.0a1

Can’t test with versions: 6000.6.4f1 and lower (project breaks after downgrade)

Tested on (OS): macOS 27 (Apple Silicon)

ArgumentException: Scene file not found: 'Assets/Scenes/Deleted.unity'.
