## ✅ Moved Forward

### iOS: Demo tracker blocking after chat in onboarding
**Role: DRI** — The week's main project. Implementation progressed significantly:
- Pre-ship-review completed Apr 28 ([task 1214147157456480](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214147157456480))
- Ship Review ([1214147157456478](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214147157456478)) opened — most comments addressed
- Feature split into 5 stacked PRs to isolate changes
- Status update posted Apr 30 — put **ON HOLD** after unified toggle input redesign (task [1214281344740598](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214281344740598)) introduced breakages. Decision made with Alessandro: hold ship review until breakages fixed.
- DRI<>PA async active — Gary confirmed no new apple projects added to upcoming assessment cycle to protect experiment runway.

## 📅 Next Week Setup

**TP Suggestion:** [iOS: Demo tracker blocking after chat in onboarding](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1213551050320249)
**Reasoning:** Due May 11 (ship review due May 15). Feature is complete but blocked by toggle input redesign breakages. Next step: fix the unified toggle input breakage, get ship review back off hold, drive to approval before deadline. This is the highest-stakes open item.

**Rotation:** None active or starting next week.

**OOO watch:** Alessandro mentioned being AFK (confirm exact dates from his Asana OOO task). Ensure someone else covers PR reviews on Demo tracker stacked PRs.

**1:1 with Dominik (May 5):** Items to bring:
- Demo tracker status: ON HOLD due to unified toggle redesign conflict, plan to unblock
- Ship Review: (iOS Only) Ensure compatibility on iPad — needs triage
- AOR prioritization task (stale since 2024) — worth a quick sync to close or re-scope
- Failing pixels delegation (Samantha's PR #4648) — confirm closed
