Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported behavior with keybase id smcquay and keybase verify, comparing the reporter's output with the screenshots showing failed proofs. Trace the verification path from these commands and determine why proof failures are not visible locally or why keybase verify hangs. Done means failures are reported consistently and verification completes.
