--- ## Daily Brief β€” 2026-05-29 (Friday) ### ✨ Morning On this day in 1919, Arthur Eddington photographed a total solar eclipse from the island of PrΓ­ncipe and measured starlight bending around the sun β€” the first real-world confirmation of Einstein's general relativity. Light bent by gravity, captured on a glass plate, observed from a tropical island. Curious how the universe sometimes hands over its secrets in such specific places. πŸ’§ Start with a glass of water. > Anchor: Today's focus per last week's plan β€” land TP subtasks (Hide stop chat, Persist 'You've got this'), resolve Treatment B scope question. New signals since yesterday: 17 task changes, 17 new comments β€” Alessandro raised a Treatment B / tracker-blocker experiment conflict that needs a decision. > Context note: No `plan-2026-05-25.md` found (weekly retrospective `2026-05-29.md` used as baseline).
