AFK starts in 2 days (May 1) — handoff tomorrow. ### ✨ Morning On April 29, 1954, Mr. Potato Head became the first toy ever advertised on American television — a 30-second spot that kicked off a $4 billion industry and changed how toys are marketed forever. 💧 Start with a glass of water. ## Plan for Today 1. ⚡ Post 2-line "investigating, ETA today" comment to Sam S on testWhenTabWithConnectionLost `gid:1213975496167929` — 5 min, OVERDUE +7d, resets the clock before deep work starts. 2. 🔴 Respond to Pete's Ship Review question on `gid:1214147157456478` — confirm/clarify unified native input compatibility.
