No access to files when offline

I needed to get the WIFI key stored in a file but I couldn't because I needed to be online so I ended up in a chicken and egg situation.
Is that a bug or a feature?

The issue does not identify any file, test, or entry point to inspect. Start by determining which Keybase client component controls access to locally stored files while offline; done would require an agreed behavior for retrieving the Wi-Fi key without an online connection and a corresponding regression test.
