+## Inbox Triage — 2026-05-25 (since 2026-05-25 00:00)
+
+### New / Changed — Action Required
+
+_Nothing new requires a response since midnight. No new human comments on open tasks, no new assignments, no @mentions of Alex requiring action._
+
+### New / Changed — Monitoring
+
+- **[Apple Weekly Team Meeting](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214929922983741)** — Sam S updated the agenda + @-mentioned at 07:07. Meeting is **tomorrow (May 26)**. Worth a glance before the meeting; no response needed today.
+- **[iOS: Demo tracker blocking after chat in onboarding](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1213551050320249)** _(Top Priority)_ — Dax bot moved this from "Waiting for Release" to **Pre-release Validation** in `macos-app-release-1.192.0` at 07:43. The fix is now riding in the 1.192.0 release train (build `1.192.0-722+macos` out for internal testing/TestFlight). Informational — DRI for validation is the release team, not Alex.
+- **[PR: iOS: Demo tracker blocking after chat in onboarding](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214425079182350)** — Alessandro added an emoji reaction at 06:38. No comment, no action.
+
+### Filtered out (not surfaced)
+
+- Artur's OOO task @-mentions (7×) — OOO announcement, not directed at Alex's work.
+- `due_today` reminder bot ping on **Try Visiting a Site: Background [1d]**.
+- Various Dax bot release-tag ripples on tasks Alex follows but does not own.
+
+### Nothing else new
+
+Inbox is quiet. Day-brief items (overdue list, awaiting-reply backlog) belong in the daily brief, not here.
