Description

benjojo put something in our private folder before I installed KBFS. Then uninstalled KBFS. Now I get a "Rekeying" notification every 5 minutes (and no other clue that there are pending files in the UI)

Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.14-20160315130050+fc26e6b

Research direction

Start by reproducing the repeated “Rekeying” notification after KBFS is uninstalled, then trace the GUI notification entry point and how pending files are represented. Done means a failed rekey no longer produces an unexplained notification every five minutes and the UI provides a clue about pending files.
