Description
Long story short.
My key expired some time ago. I can still chat through Keybase Chat and none is even warned that my key expired. What's more stunning is that my messages are shown as Encrypted & Signed & OK!
I maybe little outrage but seriously? What is the point of expiry date of my key if Keybase doesn't even warn my peers/colleagues that they shouldn't trust my key as it is expired!
Second thought is that, how can I use old and new key with Keybase so I won't lost my chat history? Is this even possible? Can I send both proofs for old and new key?
Thanks
Kamil

Research direction
Start by examining the Keybase Chat behavior described for expired keys and how old and new keys are handled together. Reproduce whether peers receive any warning and whether messages remain marked as encrypted and signed; done means the expiry state is communicated correctly without losing chat history.
