Description

Keybase GUI Version: 3.2.2-20190412030505+5262f90fd9

Hello... I am a complete idiot. Today I decided to reset my keys and start from scratch.

Now my Keybase public folder will not sync with the KBFS folder on my Mac OS, and I cannot add or delete any of the files; however, the old files before my reset are still there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the KBFS sync failure on macOS after resetting Keybase, then trace the reset and public-folder behavior; done means the existing files sync and files can be added or deleted again.
