Description

Researching it myself it seemed like an authorization error that was resolved when I investigated it myself I discovered that the LaunchAgents actually didn't even exist. I'm going to try removing it and installing it with homebrew instead of the Keybase.app available on the website.

Research direction

Start with the reported macOS installation failure involving ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ and the Keybase.app installer. Use log ID b712307aaa679024ddabfa1c and compare the reported installer behavior with installation through Homebrew; done means the permission error and missing LaunchAgents behavior are understood and addressed.
