+- No new @mentions of you since 09:17 (direct DB sweep on `stories.resource_subtype = 'at_mention'`).
+- No new human comments on tasks where you are assignee.
+- No new task assignments, Ship Review state changes, or Tech Design re-review requests.
+- Only DB activity since 09:17 is a single project-level edit on _Use newsletter email list for Feature Discovery_ (Leaderboard – Internal Product Feedback) — not assigned to you, no surface.
+- Last sync ran at 09:47 (+06), 30 min after SINCE. Overdue items, longstanding "Comments awaiting reply", and existing AOR digests belong in the daily brief, not here.
