- installer_and_updater_architecture.md: macOS install-auto, the fuse and clipaths components, the updater's rename fallback, and the one-time legacy helper retirement, with KeybaseInstaller gone. - go/kbfs/README.md: the redirector is Linux-only; on macOS install macFUSE 5 or later yourself and mount at a directory you own. - CHANGELOG.txt: users install macFUSE from macfuse.io, the old FUSE and helper are removed after one admin prompt, macOS asks once about network volume access, and /keybase is replaced by /Volumes/Keybase (<user>).
The changelog says to turn on Finder access after installing macFUSE, that /Volumes/Keybase is gone too, and that a synthetic.conf keybase line can be removed. The kbfs README gives the macOS mount dir, and the installer doc says clipaths links only the app's own tools.
