Description

This was my setup when I tried to generate a public key

Push an encrypted copy of your new secret key to the Keybase.io server? [Y/n] n
When exporting to the GnuPG keychain, encrypt private keys with a passphrase? [Y/n] Y

And I got this message:

- INFO Generating primary key (4096 bits)
- ERROR PushHandler: failed to run teamHandler handler: non-implicit operation on implicit team (1 v false) (error 2679)
- INFO Generating encryption subkey (4096 bits)
- WARNING fixHeaders: need session, but session token empty
- ERROR PushHandler: failed to run teamHandler handler: Internal error: API request requires session, but session token empty

The INFO Generating, WARNING and ERROR were repeating in loop.
Details: Keybase Shell, Win10

Research direction

Start by reproducing PGP public-key generation in Keybase Shell on Windows 10 using the prompt choices and messages shown here. Trace the repeated PushHandler, teamHandler, fixHeaders, and missing-session errors; done means key generation completes without the loop or session failures.
