function Test-PWSHYBKPIVPin {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Tests whether a PIN is valid for a locally attached YubiKey's PIV application.
    .DESCRIPTION
        Wraps "yubico-piv-tool.exe --action verify-pin". Follows Test- verb convention: returns
        $true/$false rather than throwing on a wrong PIN. A failed attempt still consumes one of
        the YubiKey's limited PIN retries, a real side effect on the device, so this cmdlet
        supports -WhatIf/-Confirm like other state-changing cmdlets in this module.

        A wrong PIN still returns $false, matching Test-Path/Test-Connection semantics, but this
        cmdlet also writes a Write-Warning (independent of the module's opt-in Logging config) when
        yubico-piv-tool.exe's failure text indicates the retry count is low or has hit zero - the
        PIN is now blocked and the PIV application needs Unblock-PWSHYBKPIVPin (with the PUK) or
        Reset-PWSHYBKPIVDevice before it will accept a PIN again. That distinction would otherwise
        be indistinguishable from an ordinary wrong-PIN $false.

        Accepts the "verify-pin" action's config-declared options (-Pin, -Reader) as dynamic
        parameters built from Config\Posh-YBKPIV.json, so a JSON edit that adds or changes
        options for this action is picked up automatically.
    .PARAMETER Pin
        The PIN to verify, as a SecureString. Converted to plain text only immediately before
        invoking yubico-piv-tool.exe, and never logged.
    .PARAMETER Reader
        Name of the smart card reader to target, when more than one is attached. If omitted,
        yubico-piv-tool.exe uses its own default reader selection.
    .INPUTS
        None. This cmdlet does not accept pipeline input.
    .OUTPUTS
        Boolean. $true if the PIN verified successfully, $false otherwise.
    .NOTES
        -Reader is declared dynamically from Config\Posh-YBKPIV.json and therefore does not
        appear in Get-Help's PARAMETERS/SYNTAX sections. Run
        `Get-Command Test-PWSHYBKPIVPin -Syntax` for the authoritative, current parameter list.
    .EXAMPLE
        Test-PWSHYBKPIVPin -Pin (Read-Host -AsSecureString -Prompt 'PIN')
        Prompts for a PIN and returns whether it verified successfully.
