Description
Between a rock and a hard place.
Can't seem to add a PGP key to my Keybase account, yet given a 'Could not find the request' error. Can't login to the desktop client as it says a PGP key has been established. However, the website says to 'add key'. Broken.
My public profile also states 'a mystery user with no key'.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the PGP-key setup flow on the website and in the desktop client, comparing the reported “Could not find the request” error with the established-key state. Done means the account and public profile consistently reflect whether a PGP key is present, or the failure has a clear diagnostic explanation.
