Description

I have just reset my Keybase account and accidentally clicked Reddit to prove my GitHub. It's now stuck in my sigchain as "claimed Reddit josh38" how do I remove this? The Reddit account isn't my account and I never got the text I had to paste to prove I'm the user of Reddit. If I revoke it it will say I revoked it even though there was nothing to revoke.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the Keybase client code that handles identity proofs, sigchain entries, and revocation, then trace how an uncompleted Reddit proof is represented. Done means the behavior for removing or correcting this unproven identity is clearly defined and covered by an appropriate test.
