Research direction
The report provides no file, test, or entry point; begin by reproducing the initial Ubuntu installation and the “Show Keybase” account setup using an account with only a public key uploaded. Trace the GUI path through the GPG or secret-key step, using log ID 89caf6139d3b355b17307b1c, and confirm that setup no longer fails or gives a clear actionable error.
