Research direction
Start by reproducing the Windows 10 64-bit new-device flow: enter the passphrase, click Continue, and capture the Keybase log. Trace the Read timeout and the resulting “kex canceled by caller” error from that flow. Done means the crash and new-device error are reproduced, their cause is identified, and a regression test or verified fix covers the case.
