Here is your brief directly — the full output: --- ## Daily Brief — 2026-04-08 (Wednesday) _DB synced 14:23 · Weekly plan inferred from DB + 1:1 agenda (plan file not accessible from this session)_ > ⚠️ **Alex AFK today (sick).** Dominik commented "Get better soon" · Costas commented "Rest up" — team knows. Brief run on explicit request. Keep today light; all actions below are async-friendly. --- ### Step 0 — Anchor **Today's focus per weekly plan:** Ship Review closure for iOS toggle / Duck.ai screen (TP). The Ship Review is the gate for the next project — Demo Tracker can't kick off until it completes and a postmortem runs (Gary confirmed this on Apr 2). **New signals since yesterday:** 9 task changes · 11 new comments — mostly in the Ship Review thread, plus 2 new PRs assigned and 1 CI failure request from Sam S. **Yesterday recap:** Alex was active through the evening — addressed GJ13, GJ14, SH1 in Ship Review, posted a new build, opened a separate fix PR for SH1, and had the 1:1 with Dominik. Marked sick for today. --- ### 🔴 Urgent / Overdue **[+1d] Design Review: Blinking Address Bar** `inbox · macOS Release Board · due Apr 7` - Context: Assigned to Alex with no notes or comments. A design review task in the macOS Release Board; scope unclear but it's past due. - Action: Open the task, determine what's expected (formal design feedback vs. lightweight approval), complete or comment. **Defer to tomorrow if resting today.** **[+1d] Dominik :: Alex 1:1 Agenda** `inbox · due Apr 7` - Context: 1:1 occurred yesterday.
