Description

Here is the version information:
Patricks-MacBook-Pro:hub-pic-test patricknelsen$ keybase version
Client: 1.0.5-0
Service: 1.0.5-0

With any user that I am tracking I see the following behavior:
keybase pgp encrypt -s -i
...
Your key passphrase:
Store your key in Apple's local keychain? [Y/n] Y
You last tracked ...
public key fingerprint

(hangs forever)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported `keybase pgp encrypt -s -i ` command on macOS with client and service version 1.0.5-0, using a tracked user and the Apple keychain prompt. Trace where the command stops after displaying the tracked public-key fingerprint. Done means encryption completes and produces the requested output instead of hanging indefinitely.
