Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported brew upgrade blockblock flow on macOS and compare it with the successful uninstall and reinstall commands in the issue. Trace the BlockBlock Homebrew cask metadata or installer path that references the old 2.4.4 location; done means upgrading from 2.5.0 to 2.5.2 completes without the missing uninstall-script error.
