@Coalacanthus: Thanks for the report.

As upstream removed their systemd support (due to not understanding, or wanting to understand, how systemd works) we would have to create integration ourselves. Can you please try whether the two attached systemd user units fix your problem?
To test for your local user, you can move them to e.g. `~/.config/systemd/user/` and then enable the socket via `systemctl --user daemon-reload && systemctl --user enable --now keyboxd.socket`
   keyboxd.socket (0.1 KiB)
   keyboxd.service (0.1 KiB)

ERRATA: I have not included an `[Install]` section (for vendored activation later on).

You can still start the socket, but you can not enable it: `systemctl --user daemon-reload && systemctl --user start keyboxd.socket`

.socket can activate .service, but both sides (gpg and keyboxd) are stuck on recvmsg...

Hm, maybe keyboxd is actually started by something else (e.g. gpg-agent).
Probably needs a bit of investigation on how to do this right... -_-

It seems keyboxd has no scoket activation support, unlike gpg-agent. But we can just provide a user service, so user can just enable to use.
And service need some modification to run, Type should be forking and arguments should be --daemon.

I can confirm there is no other keyboxd via pgrep.
