Description

Possible solutions:

  1. Lose the -y flag all together
  2. Actually follow the -y flag and don't ask the below questions.

I got these two questions while trying to use keybase follow -y xxxxxx

yeah, it was an extra 2 seconds of my life, but meh, a bug is a bug.

We found an account for xxxxxx, but they haven't proven their identity. Still follow them? [y/N]
Some proofs failed; still follow xxxxxx? [y/N]

Research direction

Start by locating the Go command handling keybase follow and its -y option, then trace where the identity and failed-proof confirmation questions are shown. Done means keybase follow -y xxxxxx completes without prompting, while the normal command still prompts when appropriate; add or update coverage for both paths if the command's tests are found.
