Description

After a restart, I tried to id myself and I get:

➜  ~ keybase id diego

Keybase isn't running. To start, you can run:

	open /Applications/Keybase.app

▶ ERROR There were multiple errors: dial unix /Users/diego/Library/Group Containers/keybase/Library/Caches/Keybase/keybased.sock: connect: no such file or directory; dial unix /Users/diego/Library/Caches/Keybase/keybased.sock: connect: no such file or directory

I now have to have the app running to use the command line?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the post-restart failure with keybase id diego on macOS and trace the CLI's handling of the missing keybased.sock connection. Determine whether the command should start or work without the app, then verify the chosen behavior after a restart; the issue does not name files or tests.
