Gremlin inside my old Macbook Pro?

How can I stop my Macbook Pro opening loads of apps all by itself when its lid is shut?
Last night I left only Chrome and Firefox open on the laptop, shut the lid, connected power (the battery is aging), and went to bed.
This morning it has sixteen more apps open (screenshot here*). There's nobody here but me so it's not a prank, and it's happening frequently.
It's a 2015 MBP 15" running Big Sur 11.7.6. I can't find anything in System Settings that relates to enforcing sleep when it's closed. Very strange that it's so busy running things by itself though! Apps never start by themselves, other than me starting them, when the lid is open; this only happens with the lid closed.
Grasping at straws I've tried resetting NVRAM and SMC, but it's still happening. Any ideas will be much appreciated.
