Problem
SessionStartinjects the full ponytail ruleset once. When the context window fills and compacts, that injection disappears. TheUserPromptSubmithook only fires context on/ponytailcommands — silent the rest of the time. Result: model drifts back to over-building mid-session with no reminder.Fix
ponytail-mode-tracker.jsnow emits a briefPONYTAIL MODE ACTIVE — level: {mode}reminder on every turn (when active), matching the pattern already used by tools like Caveman. This keeps the active mode in context across compaction boundaries.Changes:
hooks/ponytail-runtime.js: exportgetMode()— reads current mode from the flag filehooks/ponytail-mode-tracker.js: importgetMode(), add earlyreturnon mode-change paths, emit per-turn reminder at the end of the normal (non-command) pathThe reminder is one line, zero overhead when ponytail is off.
