## 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_later` or 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

### Priority Order for Today
_Baseline: Ship Review closure is the week's critical path. Alex is sick — bias toward async, no deep work required._
| # | Action | Why now |
|---|---|---|
| **1** | **Post Ship Review closing summary → request Costas + Gary sign-off** | Closes this week's TP gate; 15 min async |
| **2** | **Review PR #4355** (iOS Pixel Definition) | Due today |
| **3** | **Review PR #4369** (macOS value transformer pixel) | Due today |
| **4** | **Flaky test on main** (ErrorPageTests timeout) | Sam S waiting; due tomorrow |
| **5** | **Design Review: Blinking Address Bar** | +1d overdue; triage/complete |
| **6** | **Mark 1:1 Agenda complete** | Housekeeping, 10 sec |
| **7** | **Ping re: EP2/3 Calibration** | Delegated, 5 days overdue |
_Items 47 can all flex to tomorrow without consequence. Item 1 is the only thing that materially moves the week forward._
