+- Snapshot (`asana_context.md`) generated at 07:31 UTC (~12:31 Almaty), preceding SINCE by ~30 min.
+- `Recent Comments on My Tasks (24h)`: 0 new comments.
+- `Changed in Last 24h`: only 2 tasks, both completed before SINCE (`What is your 1 Must today?`, `Disable back button during duck.ai onboarding`).
+- No new assignments, no Ship Review / Tech Design state changes, no incident or rotation events.
+- Production postgres not reachable from this machine; @mention queries against `stories` (STEP 1b) could not be executed locally — falling back to the snapshot.
+- Overdue tasks and unaddressed AOR comments remain in `status.md` 🔴 Signals — those belong in the daily brief, not here.
