Description

I had to use the disable-cert-pinning option because the machine is behind an aggressive firewall which basically MITM-attacks all traffic. The GUI app seems to work, however as soon as I tried to cd more than two levels "deep" in a KBFS team folder, it started throwing "The read operation took too long and failed" errors over and over again.

Research direction

Start with the reported Log ID 700ae48f71c75cfd13c49e1c and reproduce the repeated read failures while using disable-cert-pinning on macOS. Trace the KBFS team-folder traversal that fails beyond two levels, and consider the issue done when that traversal completes without timeout errors in the reported environment.
