+// One-off ledger repair for ~/.groove/tokens.json (2026-07 efficiency audit).
+//
+// Entry c3789b6f recorded $20,536.57 from a duplicate-ingestion loop (4,631
+// session records in 380s, payloads duplicated up to 10×). The ingestion bug
+// is fixed in claude-code.js, but the poisoned data still dominates every cost
+// dashboard: recorded all-time spend ~$24K vs ~$3.5K real. This script:
+//   1. Sets the poisoned entry's totalCostUsd to its audited real value (~$325)
+//   2. Truncates every entry's sessions array to the last 500 records
+//      (matches SESSION_CAP in tokentracker.js; aggregates are untouched)
+//   3. Writes a timestamped .bak of the original file first
+//
+// MUST run with the daemon STOPPED — the daemon holds the ledger in memory and
+// rewrites the file, so a live edit gets clobbered. The script checks and aborts.
+//
