Research direction
Start with the supplied installer log, especially the Privileged Helper and SMJobBless steps, and investigate the CFErrorDomainLaunchd error 9 and repeated XPC connection failures. Reproduce the helper installation failure on macOS and trace why the client remains on “Loading…”. Done means the helper installs successfully and the Keybase window completes loading.
