Description

I'm just getting started with the command line interface and have hit a snag that I can't figure out.
`storyjesse@Host ~ $ keybase chat download my_team_name "36"`
`▶ ERROR In resolving 'my_team_name': unknown user assertion`

The associated chat that I'm reading has the following message:
`E127CFC4-2B9B-4C07-BC5A-890CF8C46422.jpg [preview available] (uploaded)`

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
Cheers

Research direction

Start by reproducing the `keybase chat download my_team_name "36"` command using the reported chat and attachment ID. Check the command's user-assertion resolution and chat-download entry points to determine whether the team name or attachment syntax is unsupported. Done means establishing the correct behavior and documenting or fixing the cause of the `unknown user assertion` error.
