| description | WHOLE-REPO audit for over-engineering. Scans entire codebase instead of diff (like ponytail-review). Ranked list of what to delete, simplify, or replace with stdlib/native equivalents. One-shot report, does NOT apply fixes. Trigger: "audit this codebase", "audit for over-engineering", "what can I delete from this repo", "find bloat", "ponytail-audit", "/ponytail-audit".

Ponytail Audit: Repo-Wide Over-Engineering Scan
TAGS
Same as ponytail-review:
delete:, dead code, unused flexibility, speculative feature. Replacement: nothing.stdlib:, hand-rolled stdlib function. Name the function.native:, dep/code doing what platform already does. Name the feature.yagni:, abstraction with one impl, unused config, layer with one caller. Inline.shrink:, same logic, fewer lines. Show shorter form.
HUNT TARGETS
- Deps the stdlib or platform already ships
- Single-implementation interfaces
- Factories with one product
- Wrappers that only delegate
- Files exporting one thing
- Dead flags and config
- Hand-rolled stdlib
OUTPUT
One line per finding, ranked:
<tag> <what to cut>. <replacement>. [path]
End with: net: -<N> lines, -<M> deps possible.
Nothing to cut: Lean already. Ship.
BOUNDARIES
Scope: over-engineering and complexity ONLY. Correctness bugs, security holes, performance out of scope. Lists findings, applies nothing. One-shot.
"stop ponytail-audit" or "normal mode" to revert.
