Description

I see an empty top level /keybase directory on a Linux system - please do not do that. Never. Create a directory where it might be appropriate, but never in the root dir. Thanks.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the report. Search the repository for /keybase and Linux directory-creation entry points, then reproduce or inspect the behavior that creates the root-level directory. Done means the client no longer creates /keybase and creates any required directory in an appropriate location instead.
