1password often ends up with multiple instances running (each with its own trayicon)
I regularly launch the 1password standalone app (using rofi as my launcher). and I also use the Chrome extension too.
Over time I often notice that there are several instances of 1Password running...

Hi @Savanni - thanks for the reply.
I'm using arch linux, and only have a single 1password binary (as far as I can tell anyway).
This was done via the AUR package - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/1password
I have however also installed 1password-cli from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/1password-cli
I'm not sure this should be an issue though, these are just a bunch of scripts and the package does not bundle a conflicting 1password app binary
Tonight I noticed two 1password systray icons again. One had a lock overlay indicating it needed a password to unlock (confirmed by trying to open it), and the other was already unlocked.
Not sure what this means exactly, but I assume it demonstrates it's not a systray issue where it's displaying multiple icons for the same underlying process.
I'll see if I can add some inotify to the semaphore files you mention, hopefully that will give some insight into what might be going wrong, or perhaps alert me when a 2nd instance is spawned so I can see a pattern developing
