Description

The latest installer downloadable from the website shows the following version (Mac, Apple Silicon):
```
Version 6.2.5-20240101050825+3bdf76f84a (6.2.5-20240101050825+3bdf76f84a)
```
However, the releases on [Github are at 6.2.4](https://github.com/keybase/client/releases) which is really confusing.

Also, why are no signed checksums of the installers provided? That would improve confidence given the amount of private information that a user might manage via Keybase.

Research direction

Compare the Mac Apple Silicon installer version shown in the issue with the GitHub release listing, then trace the website and installer release entry points. Determine how release versions and checksum publication are handled. Done means the published versions are consistent and signed installer checksums are available.
