Description
Keybase running on MacOS 10.14 has just auto updated to v6.3.0 which only supports MacOS 10.15 an now won't run!!!!!
There appears to be no way of getting hold of legacy dmg files to downgrade to v6.2.8 ...
So one bug:
Auto update should check OS version requirement before installing a version which won't run.
And one request:
Please can the v6.2.8 dmg file be published somewhether (e.g. gitlab release files) so you can access legacy version both for testing and support older OS versions (temperarily).

Research direction
Start by locating the Keybase auto-update path for macOS and the release-artifact publishing path; the payload names no files or tests. Verify behavior on macOS 10.14 with v6.3.0 and v6.2.8: an unsupported update must not install, and the legacy v6.2.8 DMG must be available.
