Research direction

Start by reproducing `npm install -g keybase-installer` with the reported Node v0.10.32, npm v2.1.3, and Darwin environment, then inspect the `tar.unpack` and `addLocal` errors. Done means identifying a reproducible installation failure and documenting or validating a confirmed resolution; the report names no source file or test.
