Description

I have updated the avatars of some of my teams yesterday. The GUI client (on Linux and MacOS) still shows the old avatars after 15 hours. I can only force a refresh by restarting keybase AFAICS.

Research direction

The report names the GUI client on Linux and macOS but provides no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing the GUI avatar update and refresh path; done means changed team avatars appear without restarting Keybase, with a test covering the refresh behavior.
