+I have successfully verified the Klondike game logic of the terminal-based Python Solitaire application.
+
+### Key Verification Steps & Findings:
+1. **Existing Test Suite Execution**: Ran all `pytest` unit tests within the virtual environment (`solitaire-app/.venv/bin/pytest tests/ -v`). All 15 tests passed successfully.
+2. **Logic and Rule Coverage**:
+   - **Deal Invariants**: Confirmed 7 tableau columns setup (heights 1 to 7), with only the top card face-up. Verified the remaining 24 face-down cards are placed into the Stock.
+   - **Tableau Move Legality**: Verified alternating-color, descending-rank sequence moves, multi-card run moves (only valid alternating/descending face-up segments), and empty column King-only rules.
+   - **Foundation Move Legality**: Verified building up from Ace to King by matching suit on foundations, plus legal moves back from foundations to the tableau.
+   - **Stock/Waste Draw & Recycle**: Verified correct draw execution and proper reversed-order recycling when the stock is exhausted.
+   - **Undo Logic**: Verified deep-copied history serialization and restoration across all actions.
+   - **Win Detection**: Verified correct victory checking when all foundations are fully built up to Kings.
+3. **Syntax and Compilation Validation**: Checked Python syntax correctness using `py_compile`, which returned successful zero exit codes.
+
+### Artifacts Written:
+* **`.ai/verify_logic.md`**: Contains the full verification write-up, checklist, test logs, and detailed rule checks.
+* **`status.json`**: Written with `{"outcome": "succeeded"}` to signal successful verification.
