Description

**Describe the bug**
Enabling Keybase Finder integration in MacOS 27.0 Beta (26A5368g) generates an error, and the Keybase file system is not exposed.

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Ensure you are running MacOS 27.0 Beta (26A5368g)
2. Navigate to Settings > Files > Enable Finder Integration
3. Follow the instructions to [enable kernel extensions](https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/mac-help/mchl768f7291/mac)
4. Restart the Mac twice to confirm the extensions are enabled.
5. Restart the Keybase application

**Expected behavior**
Keybase Finder integration should be possible when running Keybase for Mac.

**Screenshots**
The exact error message is:

> We were unable to load KBFS (Fuse kext). This may be due to a limitation in MacOS where there aren't any device slots available. Device slots can be taken up by apps such as VMWare, VirtualBox, anti-virus programs, VPN programs and Intel HAXM.
>
> Please run `keybase log send` to report the error.

I have run keybase log send. my log id: b5b67a3156c6bf8c106e5e1c
