## Daily Brief — 2026-05-29
|
||||
|
||||
### ✨ Morning
|
||||
On May 29, 1919, Arthur Eddington photographed stars near the sun during a total solar eclipse and confirmed light bends around massive objects — exactly as Einstein's general relativity predicted. The announcement made Einstein world-famous overnight and changed how we think about gravity, space, and time.
|
||||
🚶 Take a short walk before diving in.
|
||||
|
||||
Today's focus per weekly plan: Close loops + weekly review. New signals since yesterday: 18 task changes, 15 comments — Postmortem COMPLETED ✅ (Jeanna + Jonathan thanked Alex), Full Analysis COMPLETED ✅. Two new TP subtasks due today; PR #5145 CI 🔴; new Monterrey PR task appeared in inbox.
|
||||

### 🔴 Urgent / Overdue
|
||||
|
||||
**[OVERDUE 3d] DRI** — [Desktop Browser Feature Owner Survey](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214940335721015) (due 2026-05-26)
|
||||
Context: 5-min anonymous survey. Zero content blocker. Carried Mon → Wed → Thu without being completed.
|
||||
Action: Complete in the first 5 minutes of the day.
|
||||
|
||||
**[OVERDUE 1d] DRI** — [PR: Make macOS app Monterrey-only - 1-3d (apple-browsers)](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215150214975916) (due 2026-05-27)
|
||||
Context: Appeared in inbox since weekly plan; new task, 1-3d estimate. Not in yesterday's brief. Needs scoping.
|
||||
Action: Open and triage — is this an implementation task to author, or a PR review request? 10 min.
|
||||
|
||||
**[OVERDUE 1d] DRI** — [Ship AI onboarding winner (Treatment B) [0.5d]](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215009192158955) (due 2026-05-28)
|
||||
Context: PR #5145 up but CI 🔴. Costas answered Alex's returning-users question on May 28 12:33. Alessandro reacted this morning (reaction only, no new comment — not a blocker).
|
||||
Action: Read Costas' answer, then fix CI on #5145.
|
||||
|
||||
**[OVERDUE 14d] AOR** — [PR Check is failing on main](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214797526093576) (due 2026-05-15)
|
||||
Context: Main-branch CI failure, inbox. No activity since May 17. Third brief in a row without progress.
|
||||
Action: Diagnose during AOR buffer. If not fixable in 30 min, post a status comment naming the failing test + ETA. Don't carry unacknowledged into next week.
|
||||
|
||||
**Backlog cluster** (informational — stale dates expected; do_later/quick_wins/aged inbox): CI failing test testWhenTabWithConnectionLost (active, Apr 22) · Pinned tab opens link in background (May 1) · Text selection in address bar (May 1) · Tab preview stuck · Duo login Grafana · Assertion Failure Pixel · Review Overdue Tasks meta · warnBeforeQuit flag · mac_malicious-site-protection. Not actioned today.

### 🟠 Needs Action Today
|
||||
|
||||
**DRI — TP deep work: Hide "stop chat" button + Persist 'You've got this' dialogue (due today)**
|
||||
[Hide stop chat](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215009192158954) + [Persist dialogue](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215009192158950) — Alex's May 28 status: "Next: these two." Primary deep-work block of the day after urgent items.
|
||||
Note: "Disable back button" (1215009192158960, also due today) is WAITING for confirmation from Costas/team — Alex already asked, not the blocker.
|
||||
|
||||
**DRI — Acknowledge Project Advisor async**
|
||||
[DRI ↔ Project Advisor async](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1213551072611261) — Alessandro commented May 28 23:30: "Since you were OOO I created that 🙂" — he proactively created the task while Alex was out.
|
||||
Action: Quick acknowledgment reply. 2 min.
|
||||
|
||||
**DRI — Review experiment enrollment data**
|
||||
[NA Analysis: iOS Duck.ai Onboarding Tracker Demo](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215186850972358) — Dax bot: enrollment ≈7K per variant (control 7034 / A 7191 / B 7126), no headline metric conversions yet (d5-7 app_use). Alex is listed DRI.
|
||||
Action: Scan for anomalies, confirm tracking looks reasonable. 10 min.
|
||||
|
||||
**PR Reviews — batch (6 queued)**
|
||||
Bump nativeStorage 100% · Enable ad blocking soft launch · Improve value transformer failure observability · Avoid force unwrap crash · Fix maestro tests · Enable iPad toggle iOS 7.211.
|
||||
Action: Single batch pass after TP block.
|
||||
|
||||
**📝 Weekly review write-up**
|
||||
Per Friday plan: write this week's review + catch-up for missing May/22 review.
|
||||
Action: 20-30 min before EOD.
|
||||

|
||||
No activity since May 20. Blocks closing old TP. Nudged in yesterday's brief; no response yet (AFK day intervened).
|
||||
Follow-up: "Hi Jake — following up again. This privacy triage is now 8 days overdue and is the last piece blocking old TP close-out. Any update?"
|
||||
|
||||
**OVERDUE 4d** — [🤖 Check for dependabot PRs](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215057989642782) — Tom Strba, due 2026-05-25
|
||||
macOS App Maintenance cycle. Tom's cycle is active (maintenance task modified May 28 23:27). Low urgency — Tom likely completing today.
|
||||
|
||||
**Due today** — [Pinned tab activates in other window unpinning](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1210705465887828) — Juan Pereira, due 2026-05-29
|
||||
Gentle reminder if no update from Juan by EOD.
