Description

https://www.reddit.com/r/KeybaseProofs/comments/9lidhw/my_keybase_proof_redditzsjr_keybaseprmam/

I noticed that there is a minor difference in the html that is generated in the "I am" section. Others have rel="nofollow" in the link markup for each identity, but I don't. I have no idea if this has any impact on the validity of the proof.

It does not appear that the "I fixed it - recheck" button in the UI has any action behind it. I would expect the status to change from "unreachable" to something different.

Research direction

Reproduce the Reddit proof using the reported Keybase client version, then inspect the generated HTML in the “I am” section and the UI behavior of the “I fixed it - recheck” button. Done means the identity links and proof recheck behavior match the expected valid-proof flow.
