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.

🔴 Urgent / Overdue
[OVERDUE] DRI — EP2 TD Review Calibration - 7a2 (Alex) — 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 — due 2026-06-15 Context: Task created May 28, no notes or comments. Due today. Action: Send follow-up email to Discord on the GDPR request.
[OVERDUE] DRI — Check Experiment before Jun/15 Context: Alex created Jun 2 as a self-reminder (no notes). 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 (currently ON HOLD) Context: Alex put ON HOLD Jun 9 due to illness. Build was updated Jun 8 with identified issues addressed. AOR subtask sign-off status unknown since then. Action: Remove ON HOLD, review which AOR subtasks are still pending, post: "Back from WWDC+sick — resuming today. Checking open items."
