Research direction

Locate the pin_list definition and inspect nearby type annotations to follow the project's conventions. Add the return annotation indicating a list of strings, then run the relevant test suite and confirm the annotation is exposed without changing runtime behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I think this should always be a list of strings, it would be good to indicate such since it doesn't look like LSPs like Pylance are good at inferring this through static analysis.
