Description
With the Keybase 5.9.2 release, kbfs Finder integration stop working in an existing installation of Keybase running on macOS Catalina. Attempting to enable the Finder integration results via the Keybase GUI "Enable Keybase In Finder?" "popup" fails to succeed just like it was failing in macOS Monterrey before the update.
Re-installing the Keybase application doesn't change anything.
Keybase logs are inconclusive as to what is going on other than the macFUSE integration is obviously not working.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure in the Keybase GUI on macOS Catalina or Mojave with the 5.9.2 release, then inspect the Keybase logs and macFUSE integration. Compare the kbfs Finder integration behavior before and after enabling it. Done means the enable prompt succeeds and kbfs appears in Finder for an existing installation.
