Thanks for filing this, @aykutbulut. I edited the description to link to the Chrome status entry I found. This doesn't appear to be shipping soon, so I've tagged it as an early feature.

A possible description, following our style guide (feedback welcome):

Private verification tokens transfer trust established in regular browsing to private browsing mode. You can use this to, for example, skip challenges of users who have already been distinguished from bots.

I'm not sure what BCD keys would apply to this feature, except http.headers.Sec-Private-Verification-Token. If/when there's an IDL for this, it'll be easier to anticipate compat data for this feature.

Thanks for the review Daniel. I have edited the description based on your feedback. I will check in with the team to reflect Origin Trial plans in the chrome status entry. The suggested BCD key sounds good to me.
