Daily Brief — 2026-06-11
✨ Morning
On June 11, 1770, Captain James Cook ran HMS Endeavour aground on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. His crew spent three days lightening the ship by throwing cannons overboard, then patched the hull with rope and wool — using the very coral that pierced them as a plug while they pumped. They sailed out under their own power. Sometimes the obstacle is the solution.
🧖 Sauna day — don't skip it. 🌿 Step outside for 5 minutes before opening Slack.
Anchor: Today's focus per weekly plan: EP2 TD calibration response + async CI fix on #5145. New signals since yesterday: Ship Review put [ON HOLD] (Jun 10), 2 tasks completed (Animation Delay, cb1 disable tracker step). WWDC light-async mode ends tomorrow.
Plan for Today
- ⚡ Merge #5271 + #5149 — both CI ✅, approved ✅, land-ready since Monday (~10 min)
- 🔴 Respond to Sam S — EP2 TD Calibration (3 days overdue, was due within 48h of Jun 8)
- 🔴 Clarify "Check Experiment before Jun/15" — deadline Monday, still unknown what this is
- 🟠 Fix CI on #5145 — must land by Jun 15, 3 failing checks blocking merge
- 🟠 Verify Localize duck.ai onboarding path — Smartling job status, due Jun 8 (overdue)
- 🟡 Batch 5 GitHub mention reviews
🔴 Urgent / Overdue
EP2 TD Calibration - Alex [OVERDUE] [Career] — Sam S left scoring notes Jun 8 asking for Alex's response on 2 mismatched calibration criteria. 48h response expected; now 3 days without reply. Alex is the blocker. Action: Open task, review Sam's rationale, post response. 15 min.
Check Experiment before Jun/15 [URGENT] [DRI] — Deadline Jun 15 (Monday, 4 days). Still unclear what experiment this refers to. Needs identification today — not Monday. Action: Open task, read comments/description. If still unclear, ping requester today.
Ship AI onboarding winner (Treatment B) — PR #5145 [OVERDUE] [DRI] — Due May 28 (14 days overdue). Must land by Jun 15 or experiment window closes. CI 🔴 (3 failing checks: Test Non-Sandbox, Translated Strings, Test Report). Review still pending. Action: Investigate CI failures on #5145, fix and push today or tomorrow.
Backlog cluster: do_later + quick_wins tasks with stale dates are not surfaced — expected, no action.
