Description
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512
When you import a subkey for signing only, the web menu offer the decrypt function. I think the system should not offer the option in that case. Should we be able to flag it is just a signing key?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
Version: Keybase OpenPGP v1.1.3

Research direction
Start by reviewing how OpenPGP subkey capabilities are represented and how the web menu decides whether to offer decryption. Confirm the behavior with a signing-only subkey; done means the decrypt option is not offered while signing remains available.
