Last comment Alessandro (May 29) β€” Treatment B / tracker-blocker experiment overlap concern. Alex is the blocker. PR #5145 has πŸ”΄ CI. **Action**: respond to Alessandro's feasibility concern + fix CI. - ⏰ **OVERDUE β€” AUTHOR**: [Follow-up: add support of Inline Text Images to TypingTextAnimation](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214040804696193) β€” 4d overdue, inbox. PR #4663 is βœ… but still draft / ⏳ waiting. **Action**: promote to ready-for-review, or close if superseded by ship-of-the-experiment. - ⏰ **OVERDUE β€” REVIEWER**: [PR: Make our macOS app Monterrey-only](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215150214975916) β€” 5d overdue. Diego's Big Sur removal ships Jun 8. **Action**: review this week (today is best β€” Diego flagged on Jun 1). - ⏰ **OVERDUE β€” DRI**: [Desktop Browser Feature Owner Survey](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214940335721015) β€” 6d overdue, 5-min anonymous form. **Action**: fill it out. - ⏰ **OVERDUE β€” AUTHOR**: [PR Check is failing on main (May 15)](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214797526093576) β€” 17d overdue, Apple CI Failing Tests.

Not urgent β€” surface during weekly review or batch with the Jan-2026 overdue-summary task when capacity allows. ### 🟠 Needs Action Today **Ship Reviews (DRI)** β€” TP parent [iOS Address onboarding conflicts with unified input and ship AI onboarding winner](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214592943696234) due **Fri 2026-06-05**. All four `top_priority` subtasks listed above under Urgent/Overdue. Alex is the current blocker on all of them (PRs need merging, CI needs fixing, implementation needs to start). Once PR #5145 is green and PRs #5149 / #5173 are merged, the SR thread re-enters "waiting for Alessandro re-review" β€” but not yet. The [Ship Review task itself](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215009192158961) is delegated and tracking the parent. **Tech Designs**: None requiring Alex's action today. **PFRs**: None open. **Incidents**: None open. **PR Reviews**: **12 review requests + mentions queued** (Apple repo + privacy-configuration). Batch *after* the TP block β€” full list lives in `asana_context.md`. Notable: phishing-protection dataset bump and nativeStorage 100% rollout look low-friction. ### 🟑 Delegated β€” Follow Up Needed - πŸ”” **OVERDUE**: [πŸ€– Check for dependabot PRs](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215057989642782) β€” Tom Strba, due 2026-05-25 (7d overdue), maintenance rotation. **Suggested ping**: "Hey Tom β€” Mon maintenance task still open from last week.

Handoff prep needed by Fri (anyone covering anything?). - 🎯 **Fri Jun 5** β€” TP parent due. Friday should already be a buffer day, not a finish day. - πŸ“ Career thread this week: **draft Part 1 of [Project Advisor Readiness Self-Reflection](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1210386994396212) β€” 30 min** (Dominik-OOO floor β€” use the time he can't claim).
