Description
I am getting an error when I try to access the keybase file system on mac. The error occurs both in Finder and the app. I saw a solution you listed here: https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/10671
But the terminal line does not seem to work for me. Would much appreciate some help.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the referenced issue #10671 and the ERROR CODE 218 report, then reproduce the failure in both Finder and the Keybase app on macOS. Done means identifying a supported fix or documenting why the existing terminal solution fails and restoring access to the Keybase file system.
