Description
I’ve been implementing the proofs for OpenKeychain, and I’ve had to put in a bunch of tedious work hard-wiring mocks of this kind and that with failing proofs, just to test (a) that I catch them and (b) that I report them sanely.
It’d be nice for 3rd-party implementors like me if there were bogus Keybase account or two all of whose proofs were invalid in one way or another.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing proof-validation tests and test-account fixtures used by OpenKeychain. Check how invalid Keybase proofs are represented and whether a reusable bogus account can be added. Done means third-party implementors can exercise invalid-proof handling without hard-wiring mocks, with sane error reporting covered by tests.
