Daily Brief — 2026-04-08 (Wednesday)
DB synced 14:23 · Weekly plan inferred from DB + 1:1 agenda (plan file not accessible from this session)
⚠️ Alex AFK today (sick). Dominik commented "Get better soon" · Costas commented "Rest up" — team knows. Brief run on explicit request. Keep today light; all actions below are async-friendly.
Step 0 — Anchor
Today's focus per weekly plan: Ship Review closure for iOS toggle / Duck.ai screen (TP). The Ship Review is the gate for the next project — Demo Tracker can't kick off until it completes and a postmortem runs (Gary confirmed this on Apr 2).
New signals since yesterday: 9 task changes · 11 new comments — mostly in the Ship Review thread, plus 2 new PRs assigned and 1 CI failure request from Sam S.
Yesterday recap: Alex was active through the evening — addressed GJ13, GJ14, SH1 in Ship Review, posted a new build, opened a separate fix PR for SH1, and had the 1:1 with Dominik. Marked sick for today.
🔴 Urgent / Overdue
[+1d] Design Review: Blinking Address Bar inbox · macOS Release Board · due Apr 7
- Context: Assigned to Alex with no notes or comments. A design review task in the macOS Release Board; scope unclear but it's past due.
- Action: Open the task, determine what's expected (formal design feedback vs. lightweight approval), complete or comment. Defer to tomorrow if resting today.
[+1d] Dominik :: Alex 1:1 Agenda inbox · due Apr 7
- Context: 1:1 occurred yesterday. Discussed: Ship Review timeline slip, macOS App State Machine, Advisor Readiness.
- Action: Mark complete in Asana. ~10 seconds.
Backlog cluster (not urgent — but worth a triage pass this week):
- Bug: Tab preview stuck around — 358 days overdue (inbox) →
do_lateror close - Duo login to Grafana doesn't persist — 259 days overdue (inbox) →
do_later - Assertion Failure Pixel Anomaly (Sep 2025) — 203 days overdue (planning)
- Review Overdue Tasks Summary (Jan 2026) — 71 days overdue (planning) — this meta-task is itself overdue
