Description
I just installed and setup the app on iphone - scanned the QR code from the desktop app.
The menubar app is requesting that I "rekey" my own private dir.
It opens the desktop app and it appears to give me two options - one is to open the app itself (which is presumably already open) and the other is to enter my paper key.
Entering the paper key appears to do nothing - it just returns to the screen asking to either open the app or enter the paper key.

Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by reproducing the iPhone-to-desktop QR setup and paper-key flow, then trace the KBFS rekey request across the iPhone and menubar apps. Done means the paper key is accepted and the private directory no longer repeatedly requests rekeying.
