Description
Keybase GUI Version: 5.7.0-20210622193735+e3826b703a
Settings -> Files -> Enable Finder Integration spins for a while, then stops; in the logs, it seems like
error 15:59:22.085079-0700 keybase.Helper Remote encountered error: Error Domain=KMErrorDomain Code=28 "Loading extension(s): com.github.kbfuse.filesystems.kbfuse requires a reboot" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Loading extension(s): com.github.kbfuse.filesystems.kbfuse requires a reboot}
but there's no indication of this in the GUI
might be relevant.
It seems that this happens to me every time there's a security update.

Research direction
Reproduce the failure from Settings → Files → Enable Finder Integration after a macOS security update, then inspect the Keybase Helper logs for the kbfuse extension error. Trace how the GUI handles the reported reboot requirement and verify that the integration flow gives an appropriate result instead of silently stopping.
