Research direction

Start by reviewing the macOS installer flow in install_darwin.go, along with service handling in launchd.go and unmount logic in mounter_nix.go. Use the supplied log and Keybase version to investigate the redirector installation failure; done means identifying the cause and preventing the installer from ending with exit status 1.
