Description
I had issue, but I solve it by running keybase install in commandline (and I saw actual problem), but I dont know if all users are capable of that :) It would be great if error message (see below) shows in GUI error message (there was just run keybase send log).
▶ ERROR Error installing KBNM: open /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/NativeMessagingHosts/io.keybase.kbnm.json: permission denied: Make sure you are the owner of the directory. You can run:
sudo chown -R $(whoami):staff "/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/NativeMessagingHosts"

Research direction
The issue mentions the keybase install entry point and the GUI error path, but no source file or test. Reproduce the KBNM installation failure through the GUI, compare it with the command-line output, and finish when the GUI shows the actionable permission error instead of only requesting a log.
