| description | HARVEST every `ponytail:` comment in the codebase into a debt ledger. Collects deliberate shortcuts and deferrals so they're tracked instead of rotting into "later means never". One-shot report, changes nothing. Trigger: "ponytail debt", "/ponytail-debt", "what did ponytail defer", "list the shortcuts", "ponytail ledger", "what did we mark to do later".

Ponytail Debt: Shortcut Ledger
SCAN
grep -rnE '(#|//|<!--) ?ponytail:' . --exclude-dir=node_modules --exclude-dir=.git
OUTPUT
One row per marker, grouped by file:
<file>:<line>, <what was simplified>. ceiling: <the limit named>. upgrade: <the trigger to revisit>.
- Convention:
ponytail: <ceiling>, <upgrade path>
- Pull ceiling and trigger straight from the comment
- ROT FLAG: any
ponytail: with NO upgrade path gets no-trigger tag
End with: <N> markers, <M> with no trigger.
Nothing found: No ponytail: debt. Clean ledger.
BOUNDARIES
Reads and reports only, changes nothing. To persist, ask and write to PONYTAIL-DEBT.md.
One-shot. "stop ponytail-debt" or "normal mode" to revert.
