Something isn't working

Description:
Pinning a Chromeless SSB to the dock (from /Applications/Chromeless Apps/, or "AppApp") works as expected, but clicking that icon in the dock to launch the SSB causes a dupe to appear (because the "AppApp" launches the .app in
"AppApp"/Contents/Resources/
, or "ResourceApp"). Once the app is open, the "AppApp" icon no longer has any function - clicking it does nothing.Pinning the "ResourceApp" to the dock instead and clicking it (when the Chromeless SSB isn't already running) launches a window in the default browser associated with the selected browser engine instead of the Chromeless SSB (when the Chromeless SSB is already running, it brings it to the front).
Expected Behavior: Chromeless SSB icon in Dock either brings to the front or directly launches the associated Chromeless SSB, depending on whether the app is already running or not. Launching an SSB from the dock should not launch a secondary app.
Steps to Reproduce:
/Applications/Chromeless Apps/[App Name].app
) to the dock.Additional Context
This just seems bad all around. Users have to decide to either A) pin the "AppApp" and "ResourceApp" to their docks so they can launch from one icon and interact with the other (half of which won't work as expected at any given point, and users will have to remember which one does which), B) pin only the "AppApp" and accept that Chromeless SSBs cannot be organized among other Dock icons (as when the "AppApp" is clicked, it will open a "ResourceApp" at the end of the dock) or C) pin only the "ResourceApp" and accept that Chromeless SSBs cannot be launched from the dock (I'm personally going with C, and I use Spotlight to actually launch the app.)
My Chromeless Install folder is set to something different from the default, if this might be affecting anything. Instead of
/Applications/Chromeless Apps
I have mine installed to~/MyApps/
It's worth mentioning that this doesn't seem to happen with the Webkit engine (though the lack of WebExtension support and notifications there makes it rather incomparable with other Chromeless browser engines).
This might be related to what was documented in #20, #44, #59 and #64
