Kodak D76 and dish soap

[chuckroast]

Dish soap is never very alkaline. The expectation is that your hands will be immersed in the water

Yes, but the point, I think, is that it's not acidic and would not tend to counteract the developer's alkalinity.

Hmm, we have Caffenol, should we pursue Soapenal?

Some residual amount of dish soap in your developer will do nothing.

Agreed.

It could form bubbles, thus preventing developer reaching some parts of the film to form even development.

Bubbles do not displace the liquid. It's really not much of a concern at all.
