`ERROR CODE 218 - error unboxing chat message (transient): KBFS key generation too low: 1 < 3 in method chat.1.local.getThreadNonBlock`

Facing this error from mid-June on a 1 to 1 chat where messages cannot be sent nor received from my end to a specific user.
however I don't face any issue chatting to any new or existing contact
Tried to clear the entire conversation with this specific user but face the same issue.

Research direction

Start at the chat.1.local.getThreadNonBlock entry point and trace the reported “KBFS key generation too low: 1 < 3” error for the affected one-to-one conversation. Reproduce the failure if possible with the stated Keybase version; done means that conversation can send and receive messages without the error.
