Description

Because isn't this what it is? That you pin a key, similar to how you can pin [HTTP certificates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Public_Key_Pinning)?

Research direction

The issue names only the terms “tracking” and “pinning” and provides no file, test, or entry point. Search the project for uses of “tracking” and review the surrounding key-management terminology; completion would require a decided terminology change and an agreed scope for updating it.
