Description
I am trying to add my new PGP key to keybase using `keybase pgp select` and getting errors.
Steps I did:
1. Removed the old PGP key from keybase
2. Do `keybase pgp select` from my command line
3. Selected the key I want to upload.
It gives me the following error: `▶ ERROR key generation error: non-signing keys can't be sibkeys (error 911)`
What should I be doing?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported `keybase pgp select` flow after removing the old PGP key, using the selected key that triggers error 911. Trace the key-generation path associated with `non-signing keys can't be sibkeys` and determine the expected handling for that key type; done means the command completes without the reported error or clearly reports an unsupported key.
