Description
On my Mac (10.15.3), I see the following behavior:
- Keybase notifies me of an update via a dialog. If I accept by clicking Update, the dialog disappears giving no visual indication of success or failure.
- Roughly a day later I am prompted again to install the same update, ad infinitum.
Version is: Keybase Update: Version 5.2.1-20200225174716+9845113a89

Research direction
The report identifies the Mac update dialog, macOS 10.15.3, and Keybase version 5.2.1-20200225174716+9845113a89, but names no files or tests. Start by reproducing the repeated update prompt on the reported macOS version and tracing the Mac updater flow. Done means the update completes once and the same version is not offered again.
