Description
Since upgrading macOS to Ventura 13.1, I'm getting "Background Items Added" notifications every few seconds.
I managed to stop them by toggling off the "syncthing" item in "Allow in the Background" preferences (System Preferences > Login items) but I don't know if this could prevent syncthing from working properly, and it's also always toggled back on automatically when I restart the computer.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the repeated “Background Items Added” notification on macOS Ventura 13.1 and compare behavior with the syncthing item enabled or disabled in Login Items. Done means the notification loop is resolved without preventing Syncthing from working, and the setting remains correct after a restart.
