Description
Hardware failure required restoration of macOS (10.14.6) system. After restoration, Keybase did not launch.
Deleting old Keybase.app and downloading newest install version does not clean things up.
`keybase log send` doesn't work -- there's no `keybase` binary or script.
Keybase install error complains about missing expected PIDs. Those PIDs are indeed not present.

Clicking ignore results in another go-around, with different expected PIDs indeed not present.
Have and can send logs (3 lines) and more info. Don't want to post those in a public issue tracker, though.

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by reproducing the failure on macOS 10.14.6 after restoring from a Time Machine backup, comparing Keybase 4.4.2 and 4.5.0 and recording the missing-PID messages. Done means the installation or launch failure is reproduced, diagnosed, and verified as resolved with the available logs.
