this part D:0500 DB:00 S:1FDF P:envmxdizCHC:0096 VC:046 00 FL:123?

In order:
D - Direct Address
DB - Direct Bank
S - Stack
P - Flags (missing a space at the end)
HC - Cycle Count (Horizontal)
VC - Vertical Counter
The unannotated 00 there should be the Frame Count
FL - Function Level

For most hacking, you're probably only going to be interested in the Flags, which would be retained in Squelch mode.

Cycle Count, Vertical Counter

I don't know these well enough to give you a proper answer. As I understand them, it has to do with SNES pixel drawing timing.

Function Level

This is really more of a calculated piece of information than a cold hard statistic. It is how many levels deep GSD thinks the game has called into functions. Problem with that is that games don't always make conventional function calls, so that statistic can get inflated. It is really more there to help point out entering and exiting subroutines than to be treated as critical and infallible information.
