Description

Keybase tries to run an update and asks me to enter my password four times, but the update never runs to completion. The update log shows these errors:

▶️ ERROR Error installing Helper: exit status 1
▶️ ERROR Error installing KBFuse: exit status 1
▶️ ERROR Error installing mount directory: exit status 1
▶️ ERROR Error starting redirector: exit status 1

my log id: 7b1a1670355313b5ae73fd1c

Research direction

Start with the reported update log and log ID 7b1a1670355313b5ae73fd1c, focusing on the Helper, KBFuse, mount directory, and redirector failures on macOS 11 Big Sur. Reproduce the incomplete update and determine which installation step fails; done means the update completes without repeated password prompts and the local Keybase filesystem is accessible.
