Description
Every time I start the app, I get a macOS popup that says "Background Items Added" and "Software from "Keybase, Inc." added items that can run in the background. You can manage this in Login Items Settings.". When I check the
Login Items in System Settings, it's there, and allowed. I do not remove it from there after, so not sure why at every start it has to do that. I assume the check you do to see if it's in the login items doesn't work.
Using keybase version 6.0.4-20230113195947+6e1343b357 on macOS Ventura 13.2.1 (22D68)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the repeated “Background Items Added” popup on macOS Ventura 13.2.1 with Keybase 6.0.4, then trace the login-item registration and the check that determines whether it is already present. Done means an allowed Keybase background item does not trigger the popup again on every app start; no file or test is named in the issue.
