+**Subject:** iOS: AI onboarding for custom product pages  
+**Components:** iOS Onboarding Flow, Duck.ai Custom Product Page, App Store Connect, Onboarding Pixels, Feature Flags, Grafana Dashboards  
+**Current state:** The project is completed. The tailored Duck.ai onboarding flow was released in iOS app version 7.224.0. Post-launch monitoring is ongoing, with a task to compare 2 weeks of data against the pre-campaign baseline.  
+**Alex:** mentioned=true assignee=false author=true responsible=false; intersection: review; Alex M is a stakeholder in the Tech Design, reviewed the PR for the contextual flow transition, and approved the final Ship Review PR. He is also the owner of the macOS main window/toolbar area, which is relevant because the onboarding flow interacts with the toolbar/address bar UI (e.g., disabled state styling, Dax logo visibility).

+
+**Subject:** macOS: Fix Pinned Tabs memory leaks by moving them to AppKit  
+**Components:** Pinned Tabs View, Tab Bar, Feature Flags, UI Tests, Unit Tests  
+**Current state:** The project is complete. The Pinned Tabs view has been rewritten in AppKit, the memory leak is fixed, the feature flag has been enabled for all users, and the legacy SwiftUI code has been removed. Post-release tasks for UI test coverage were completed in December 2025.  
+**Alex:** mentioned=true assignee=false author=true responsible=false; intersection: awareness; Alex M is the owner of the macOS main window/toolbar area. He initiated the task in April 2025, identified the initial SwiftUI leak, and later marked the task incomplete in June 2025 when the issue recurred, prompting the full AppKit rewrite. He is mentioned in the context of the 'Alex M next TP' task and the 'Blurry Pinned Tab favicon' task.

+**Subject:** Zoom links download the zoom.pkg  
+**Components:** macOS Browser, Native Apps, Zoom integration  
+**Current state:** The task is completed. Alex M determined that the issue stems from flaky detection by the Zoom website rather than a bug in the DuckDuckGo browser's handling, and concluded that the current behavior is correct and likely the best possible outcome.  
+**Alex:** mentioned=true assignee=true author=true responsible=true; intersection: owner; Alex M is the assignee who investigated the issue, provided the technical analysis, and closed the task.
