Ok, I followed your suggestions, did following steps.

- [X] toggle option ~epg-debug~

  #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq epg-debug t)
  #+end_src

  #+begin_example :file "*epg-debug*"

  #+end_example

- [X] test the debug output buffer printed full command in terminal. (remove =--output= option to see the output)

  #+begin_src sh :eval no
  gpg --no-tty --status-fd 1 --yes --enable-progress-filter --command-fd 0 --pinentry-mode loopback --decrypt -- /Users/stardiviner/.config/emacs/secrets/authinfo.gpg
  # after input password, it decrypted success
  #+end_src
    
  The encrypt command seems missing input file.

  #+begin_src sh :eval no
  gpg --no-tty --status-fd 1 --yes --enable-progress-filter --command-fd 0 --pinentry-mode loopback --encrypt -r 1B5DF1C95AE89AC3 -r B8C4B8E547C32433
  #+end_src

- [X] I look into ~epg--start~ source code. note the ~make-process~ call in ~epg--start~ - you may try to
  run it manually, similar to ~start-process~ and check if it fails. (For me, ~:connection-type 'pipe~
  part is a bit fishy.)

                                          ;; Suppress "XXX finished" line.
                                          :sentinel #'ignore
                                          :noquery t)))

- [X] record screen record for edebug process (430M), then compress big recorded video (~170M).
