1Password 8 keeps stealing focus on Mac

Ever since 1Password 8 came out of beta, every update causes the app to start randomly stealing focus. For example, if I'm working one window and then click into Chrome, 1Password will pop up on top....

This has happened to me in the past, and it started again today. I think the cause (in my case) is from a failed application update. If I open 1Password there is the notification "1Password will update when you restart the app", with two buttons "Later" and "Restart Now". Clicking "Restart Now" does nothing and in Console.app for 1Password process I get the following error:

Non-fatal error enumerating at , continuing: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=260 "The file “Extensions” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file." UserInfo={NSURL=Extensions/ -- file:///Users/MYUSERNAME/Library/Group%20Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/Library/Application%20Support/1Password/Update/Downloads/1Password-8.10.7-aarch64/1Password.app/Contents/, NSFilePath=/Users/MYUSERNAME/Library/Group Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/Library/Application Support/1Password/Update/Downloads/1Password-8.10.7-aarch64/1Password.app/Contents/Extensions, NSUnderlyingError=0x11f822760 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=2 "No such file or directory"}}

and some application entitlement errors complaining about

invalid application signature or incorrect provisioning profile

Restarting 1Password doesn't help.

To resolve:
1. Close 1Password
2. Open the "Activity Monitor" app and kill the "1Password Launcher" process
3. Open 1Password, this time (hopefully) the update notification will be replaced with a "Check for updates" button
4. Click "Check for Updates" and the button changes to "Restart Now"
5. Click "Restart Now"

1Password should actually close, update & restart, and stop stealing focus every time it tries to auto-update.
