Description
I installed the latest client, and have my PGP private key imported into GPG correctly. The filesystem icon shows up in explorer, but when I go into it, all I see is a file called 'kbfs.error.txt' with the following contents:
md-server: No secret key available
Then, when I open the client application, It shows me as verified, and I can see my folders/people in the UI, but nothing happens when I try to open them in explorer.
Also, when trying to start a chat with another user, I click 'Start a chat' from the user's page but then it just goes back to the search for users screen.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Explorer failure showing kbfs.error.txt and the client’s “Start a chat” flow, using log ID c6d99b6b30261b1cbcfc321c. Check the resulting client logs and verify both KBFS folders and chat opening work successfully.
