login items alerts - way too many

Since the release of Ventura, macOS has been popping up alerts about "items that can run in the background". It is good that Apple is detecting these and alerting us to them. But alerts should be once after a reboot, or at most once per login. Instead, they happen all the time, in response to many events, such as checking mail or opening a new document. The alerts are not particularly related to these activities, but seem to be triggered by them. They appear unpredictable. I've just clicked on one, to get it out of my face, for perhaps the 1000th time.

This is a known problem. It erodes confidence in Apple's dedication to software quality that it has not yet been fixed. Ventura 13.1 did not help.

The current stable release of Ventura including bug fixes, security updates is macOS Ventura 13.4.1 - I would start there.
