Description
I'm not sure if logging out triggers a re-encryption of the KBFS, but I switch between a couple Keybase accounts in the app and I've found in general things misbehave unless I quit or run_keybase which kills the existing instance and starts a new one. It is somewhat frustrating that I have to do this manually, so I'm not sure if it is an intended behavior or if I should be able to switch users seamlessly.

Research direction
Start by tracing the logout and account-switching flow, then inspect how the run_keybase command stops and starts the existing instance. Verify whether logout re-encrypts KBFS and whether a new instance is required for seamless switching; done means switching accounts works without manually quitting or running run_keybase.
