Description

I have a team member that had been part of the team. After restarting his computer the team was empty and he had to request access again. Additionally, when adding the team member back I get the following error:

keybase team add-member --user user_name --role writer team_name
▶ ERROR team key box is keyed for someone it shouldn't be (code 2662)

This error occurs from the command line (as above), from the desktop app, and from the Android app.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with the reported `keybase team add-member --user user_name --role writer team_name` command and the team key box error. Trace the team-member addition entry point across the command-line, desktop, and Android clients; done means identifying the cause and allowing the member to be added consistently.
