Research direction

Start by reproducing the Dock badge behavior in the GitHub Copilot app on macOS 27.0.0 with version 1.1.22, using the /chat path and no new notifications. Trace the app's notification badge handling and verify that the badge stays absent after restart when there are no new notifications.

Description

The dock always shows a badge with 1 in it even when there's no new notifications. Killing the Dock gets rid of it until the app restarts and puts it back.
