Description

I had to restart my account, as such I deleted the team I am the owner of (and sole member) manually before doing the destructive action.

After starting my new account I tried to re-create the team, which failed with "already exists". So I figured I'd try and join;

$keybase team request-access tomzander
▶ ERROR Root team does not exist (code 2614)
$keybase team create tomzander
▶ ERROR team already exists (code 2619)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the keybase team commands shown in the report, especially deletion followed by team create and team request-access. Trace the team deletion and creation entry points to determine why the deleted team remains reserved while lookup reports it missing. Done means a deleted team can be recreated and access requests no longer produce contradictory results.
