Description

I have an android phone with a night mode/dark theme/system setting.

Everything in Keybase (messages, settings, etc) other than buttons is black text on black background or white text on a white background. The app is completely useless.

I don't intend to change my phone's theme, even temporarily. I am not looking for a workaround. This is a bug in Keybase and should be fixed in Keybase.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on an Android phone with the system dark theme enabled, checking messages, settings, and other screens where text becomes unreadable. Start from the Android app UI entry points; no file or test is named in the issue. Done means text and backgrounds remain readable throughout Keybase without changing the device theme.
