Description
I cannot access my folder on my osx device. I've completely removed every trace of keybase, including everything in Application Support, re-verified by laptop as a new device, restarted my computer, etc. Whenever I go to folders, it says that my "Keybase folders are not currently showing up in finder." Then I get a prompt to install the Keybase helper. Every time I enter my password, it just shows the install message again. I cannot get this to install.

Research direction
The report names the macOS Keybase folders flow and the repeated helper-install prompt, but no source file or test. Start by reproducing the helper installation on macOS and trace the prompt shown after the password is entered. Done means the Keybase helper installs successfully and the Keybase folder appears in Finder.
