Reproduced on Fedora 42 KDE Plasma.

Empty /tmp/dolphin.XXXXXX files are randomly created when I open dolphin or
change directory in dolphin. These files are seemingly never removed.

Browsing to /tmp will spawn these files continuously, but it's reproducible=
 on
any folder that keeps generating new files.
Point dolphin to a folder, run a script like:

while true; do
  touch ${the_folder}/`uuidgen`
  sleep 1
done

, and run `watch -n1 ls -lht /tmp` in terminal to watch /tmp getting filled.
