Description

I tried to chat with someone in Keybase app, to find out they lost all access, and they had to rekey their account.

Now we are both getting this error:

ERROR CODE 205 - uid XXXX has never been a member of this team. in method chat.1.local.addTeamMemberAfterReset

Welp?

Research direction

Start by tracing the chat.1.local.addTeamMemberAfterReset entry point and the handling of the ERROR CODE 205 response for a user who rekeyed their account. Check the related chat and team-membership tests, if present, and reproduce the reset-and-regroup flow; done means both users can chat again without the membership error.
