Description

Issue

The versioned macOS ZIP download URLs used by Homebrew return 403 Forbidden, breaking installs and upgrades.

Example

https://prerelease.keybase.io/darwin-updates/Keybase-.zip

Working alternative
Impact

Homebrew users cannot install or upgrade Keybase.

Is this temporary, or is there a recommended long-term URL for package managers?
