Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure in the flow where a user enters public information and clicks the button to generate a PGP key. The issue names no platform, files, or test, so first determine where the key-generation request is handled and capture the missing error. Done means the failure is diagnosed and the user receives a meaningful error or the key is generated successfully.
