Description

When I am not connected to my work network I get this error and keybase just hangs there, prompting the dialog over and over again.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the screenshot and the provided log ID, then reproduce the repeated dialog and hang when the Mac is disconnected from the work network. Done means identifying and resolving the startup failure so Keybase starts without repeatedly prompting in that network condition.
