OK, based on your other post, I think I understand it now. I think the so-called
“Raymond’s prune” is somewhat different and may incur some false negatives.

Well, I'm normally using the notation generated by fc-solve and that with the flags
"-sam -p -t" can be validated to be correct by Games-Solitaire-Verify:
*
http://fc-solve.shlomifish.org/verify-code/
*
https://metacpan.org/release/Games-Solitaire-Verify
fc-solve also supports outputting in the standard notation, but it may not
conform to the exact occurence of automatic to-foundation moves, because
fc-solve is being explicit about those.
The dbm_fc_solver and depth_dbm_fc_solver are limited to single-card moves and
to automatic Horne's Prune, and as a result generate a different output, with
single card moves, and the automatic Horne's Prune assumed. I have not created
a validator or converter for this output, but it should not be too hard.
