Research direction
Reproduce the failure in Windows by running %localappdata%\Keybase\Gui\Keybase.exe from cmd and capture the reported startup path and service messages. Trace the startup handling for the expected C:\Users\sfmor\AppData\Local\Keybase location; done means Keybase starts successfully instead of stopping at “Not connected - starting keybase”.
