Description

I'm not really sure what happened here, but Keybase reported a failure to start up as soon as I logged in, and prompted me to keybase log send. Shortly thereafter I got the passphrase prompt as usual, so maybe just a temporary error, but I'm not sure where in the logs to see what actually happened.

Done means the failure is explained and startup behavior is verified or a focused follow-up is recorded.
