Description
The kbfs file system is no longer accessible in both the Keybase app and in the Finder (I'm using OS X 10.14.2). Errors in app are: Failed to list folder, Failed to load file metadata. Tried reinstalling keybase. Is there any way to reset/wipe the kbfs and start over?

Research direction
Start with the supplied log id and investigate the KBFS failures reported when listing folders and loading file metadata on OS X 10.14.2. Check whether the issue can be reproduced in the Keybase app and Finder, and determine whether access can be restored or KBFS safely reset; the issue is resolved when the filesystem and metadata are accessible again.
