Description

Have a friend send a message to you publicly using the command line.

keybase chat send --public {yourname},{friendsname} "Test message here"

Then on your computer, open Keybase and notice the unread icon in the UI. This will persist until you run the command keybase chat read {yourname},{friendsname}.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with keybase chat send --public {yourname},{friendsname} "Test message here", then open Keybase and inspect the unread-message UI path. Compare the result with keybase chat read {yourname},{friendsname}; done means the public message produces a visible unread icon and the read command clears it.
