Description

The Info.plist file for the Keybase app contains this code:

```
LSUIElement

```

which should stop it from showing in the dock, but it doesn't work. It still shows in the dock even when the app window is closed.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the Keybase app's Info.plist and reproducing the dock behavior on macOS, focusing on the LSUIElement entry mentioned in the report. Confirm the fix by closing the app window and verifying that the app no longer remains visible in the dock.
