Research direction
The issue requests adding error messages for invalid public keys, signed messages, or encrypted messages. Contributors should locate the input handling code, likely in UI components, and add validation logic to display appropriate error feedback. Since the repo is a PGP tool, understanding the expected input formats is necessary. There are no linked pull requests or recent comments, so the implementation approach is open.
