Description
Keybase GUI Version: 4.5.0-20190919040131+93e889ab01
I keep receiving an error code: 218 every time I update files on keybase. The error displays the following message:
Error: ERROR CODE 218 - Keybase services aren't running - KBFS client not found. in method keybase.1.SimpleFS.simpleFSSyncStatus at new s (file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/main.bundle.js:1:570509) at file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/main.bundle.js:1:571105 at c (file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/main.bundle.js:1:571144) at file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/main.bundle.js:1:1262481 at file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/main.bundle.js:1:3053670 at e._call (file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/main.bundle.js:1:2616431) at file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/main.bundle.js:1:2616571 at s (file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/main.bundle.js:1:2616211) at e._fulfill (file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/main.bundle.js:1:2616541) at s (file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/main.bundle.js:1:2615742)

Research direction
Start with the GUI call to simpleFSSyncStatus shown in desktop/dist/main.bundle.js and investigate why it reports that the KBFS client is missing during file updates. Reproduce the Error 218 condition on the reported Keybase GUI version; done means file updates no longer produce this error when Keybase services are running.
