These are not cryptic error messages, but machine readable status messages.

Of course. The man page of gpg points you in the right direction when you
search it for the --status-fd option that you seem to know about:
```
For scripted or other unattended use of gpg make sure to use the
machine-parseable interface and not the default interface
which is intended for direct use by humans. The machine-parseable
interface provides a stable and well documented API inde‐
pendent of the locale or future changes of gpg. To enable this
interface use the options --with-colons and --status-fd. For
certain operations the option --command-fd may come handy too. See
this man page and the file ‘DETAILS’ for the specifica‐
tion of the interface. [...]
```
You can find the DETAILS file at
