Description

I'm here because I wanted to submit a bug to https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/ :-) They advise to encrypt a debug dump with GPG, and decided to use keybase for this.

I did:

keybase follow hashicorp
keybase pgp pull

And then I wanted to encrypt a file:

$ keybase pgp encrypt  -i typescript hashicorp > tf_buf_1.txt
▶ WARNING failed to notify chat of identify result: nil user [tags:ENG=G9sY3dDiEFFj,ID2=GgdMbzV5ub7u]

Trying it 2nd time didn't reproduce the issue:

$ keybase pgp encrypt  -i typescript hashicorp > tf_buf_1.txt
$

It's a little worrying some "chat" is involved in the "encrypt" operation.

Research direction

Start by running the reported keybase pgp encrypt -i typescript hashicorp command and search the client for the exact warning text. Compare the first and second runs to determine whether the warning is reproducible; done means the unexpected chat-notification warning is either explained or no longer appears during encryption.
