OK, sounds great.

Fine. Not a blocker IMO.

I tend to briefly prefer explaining up-front why verification is
useful (as a motivating factor to follow the recommended path) than
warning when "Skip verification" is skipped, but I trust your
expertise more than mine :)

Great :)

Possibly.

Looks good.

I'm not sure I understand what use cases the "basic OpenPGP
verification" is useful for, but I expect some design doc will clarify
it for me some day so you don't have to explain me everything every
time I have a doubt :)

Sounds nice if it's not too much work to automate.

Sure.
