Description
I had a software issue needing an OS reinstall on my laptop and after reinstall of keybase (and device add) I'm getting the rekey prompt for the private folder. I don't have anything of consequence in it so no urgency.
I have followed the prompt to rekey with my iphone (nothing happened it seems) and a paper key (nothing seemed to change there either). Both options were attempted an hour or so ago and the client has been restarted recently.
Thanks

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by tracing the private-folder rekey flow after an OS reinstall and device add, then compare the iPhone and paper-key paths described in the report. Done means the rekey completes and the prompt no longer appears.
