--- ## Daily Brief — 2026-06-15 ### ✨ Morning On June 15, 1844, Charles Goodyear received his US patent for vulcanized rubber — years of obsessive, debt-ridden experiments paid off when he accidentally dropped latex onto a hot stove. Every tire, rubber boot, and o-ring since owes him a nod. 💧 Start with a glass of water. --- ## Plan for Today 1. ⚡ Follow-up with Discord on GDPR request — 15 min email, due today 2. 🔴 EP2 TD Review Calibration — Sam is waiting since Jun 8, task bumped to today 3. 🔴 Resume Ship Review: iOS Address onboarding — remove ON HOLD, check AOR status, post return comment 4. 🟠 Check Experiment before Jun/15 — self-set reminder, overdue today 5. 🟠 Merge PRs #5271 + #5149 — both CI ✅ + review ✅ 6. 🟠 Fix CI on #5246 + #5145 7. 🟠 Investigate failing test (Dominik asked Jun 10, due Jun 17) 8. 🟠 4 PR reviews — batch after focus block 9. Set TP for the week (first Monday back from WWDC) --- ### 🔴 Urgent / Overdue **[OVERDUE] DRI — [EP2 TD Review Calibration - 7a2 (Alex)](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215285052893281)** — due 2026-06-15 Context: Sam commented Jun 8 noting scores diverged on 2 of 5 criteria, then bumped due date to Jun 15 specifically for Alex's return from WWDC (Jun 11 comment). Alex hasn't responded — Alex is the blocker. Action: Read Sam's Jun 8 comment on the task, reply addressing the 2 mismatched criteria. **[OVERDUE] DRI — [Follow-up with Discord on GDPR request](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215193471130270)** — due 2026-06-15 Context: Task created May 28, no notes or comments.

Name implies today is the deadline. Likely refers to the Duck.ai onboarding tracker demo experiment (related NA Analysis task in top_priority). Action: Check experiment results (NA dashboard or ask O-N team), post outcome or close task. *Backlog cluster (stale due dates, not individually urgent):* 6 tasks in `top_priority` have due dates May 28–Jun 5 — all pre-WWDC sprint. Associated PRs open: 2 ready to merge, 2 need CI fixes. Will be handled as part of today's TP review. --- ### 🟠 Needs Action Today **Ship Review — DRI** [NEEDS ACTION] DRI — [Ship Review: iOS Address onboarding conflicts](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215009192158961) (currently ON HOLD) Context: Alex put ON HOLD Jun 9 due to illness.
