### 🔴 Urgent / Overdue
**[OVERDUE +1d] [DRI] — PR Check failing on main: ErrorPageTests** `inbox · Apple CI Failing Tests · due Apr 9`
Context: Sam S (Apr 8): *"Looks like a flaky test — runner had unreliable Internet connection. Any chance you can take a look?"* Alex hasn't responded. Automated overdue reminder fired Apr 10 04:23.
Action: Investigate `IntegrationTests/Tab/ErrorPageTests.swift#L275 · testWhenTabWithConnectionLostErrorActivatedAndReloadFailsAgain_errorPageIsShownOnce` — confirm network-flake diagnosis, apply fix or flake annotation, reply to Sam S.
**[OVERDUE +3d] [DRI] — Design Review: Blinking Address Bar** `inbox · macOS Release Board · due Apr 7`
Context: Alex created and self-assigned this subtask of the Ship Review on Apr 6. No review posted in 3 days. No comments from anyone requesting it. Ship Review closes today.
Action: Open task — determine if design review is required or if it can be closed as "no design concerns," then post conclusion today before the Ship Review is finalised.

### 🟠 Needs Action Today
#### Ship Reviews (DRI)
**[NEEDS ACTION] [DRI] — Ship-Review: [iOS] Toggle screen / Duck.ai default state** `inbox · Ship Reviews · due TODAY`
| Issue | Status |
|---|---|
| GJ12 | ✅ Barbara merged; confirmed in build |
| GJ13 | ✅ Alex fixed Apr 9 — builds available |
| GJ14 | ✅ Fixed |
| GJ15 | ✅ Gary: "Fixed 👍" |
| SH1 (double dialog) | ✅ Completed Apr 9 |
| AB1 / AB2 / AB3 | ✅ Alex fixed Apr 9 — same build |
| cb3 (Related Searches) | ✅ Barbara + Costas confirmed Apr 8 |
State: Alex posted fixes for GJ13/AB13 at 17:42 Apr 9 with two new builds (Alpha + Experimental). Gary's last comment was 10:14 Apr 9 (before the fix). Alessandro's was 08:56 Apr 9 (before the fix). Neither has re-verified. Costas gave conditional LGTM Apr 8 — still valid.
Per ship-review rules: silence ≠ approval. Explicit re-verification from Gary and Alessandro required before ship.
Action: **Ping Gary and Alessandro today***"I've addressed GJ13, AB1/AB2/AB3 in the Apr 9 17:42 build — please verify and confirm approval by EOD so we can close the Ship Review today."*

#### New Assignments — Needs Triage
**[NEEDS ACTION] [DRI] — [macOS] GeolocationProviderTests async tests flakiness** `inbox · Apple CI Failing Tests · due Apr 20`
Context: Eduardo assigned to Alex on Apr 9 20:24 — *"looks like some flakiness from GeolocationProviderTests emerging again… you seem to have looked at this before. Also curiously seeing a crash in Apple's Setup Assistant process (NSAttributedString/HTML)."* New assign, no action taken yet.
Action: Triage — review Eduardo's IPS report artifact, confirm whether same root cause as prior fix or new variant. Due Apr 20; no immediate fire, but initial read needed today to scope the work.
**[NEEDS ACTION] [DRI] — macOS: Fire Window animation not played when closing window using cmd+w** `inbox · macOS Browser Bugs · no due date`
Context: Alessandro assigned to Alex in March. Mark flagged as **Regression = Yes** on Apr 9 22:23. Dominik mentioned Alex about it in late March. No investigation or comment from Alex to date.
Action: Triage regression — confirm whether a recent release introduced this, check if a fix needs to be scoped before next release cycle.
---
#### Stakeholder Question Requiring Response
**[NEEDS ACTION] [DRI] — Remove or re-evaluate Warn Before Quit pixels** `do_later · due Apr 24`
Context: Nastia asked Apr 9 16:54 — *"do we still need these pixels?"* Automated overdue reminder also fired. Task is in do_later but Nastia's direct question requires a response regardless.
Action: Reply to Nastia — confirm yes/no and either state removal PR plan or explain why pixels are still needed.
---
### 🟡 Delegated — Follow Up Needed
**[OVERDUE +7d] [DELEGATOR] — Calibration: EP2/3 reviews for Apple engineers** → Christie `due Apr 3 · last activity Apr 2`
Context: 8 days past due, zero activity since Apr 2. No status update received.
Action: Follow up with Christie — *"Hey, just checking in on the EP2/3 calibration — any update or blockers on your end?"*
**[OVERDUE TODAY] [DELEGATOR] — Pinned tab activates in other window unpinning** → Juan Pereira `due Apr 10 · last modified Mar 30 (11d stale)`
Context: Due today, no activity in 11 days.
Action: Check in with Juan — *"Just confirming you're on track for the pinned tab fix by today?"*
Monitoring — no action needed:
- *macOS AppStore UI tests* → Dominik (due today — Dominik actively adjusted schedule Apr 8, SLA at 1d; if not marked done by midday, ping) ✓
---
### 🔵 Rhythms
**TP:** iOS: Introduce a new screen (toggle / Duck.ai default state) — due May 15 · last modified Apr 9 ✓ not stale
- Ship Review gate: **today** — critical path to TP completion
- Next project: iOS: Demo tracker blocking (due May 11) — gated on Ship Review completion
No active rotation.
**Upcoming this week:**
- 🔴 Ship Review sign-off: **today (Apr 10)** — must get Gary + Alessandro re-approval by EOD
- 1:1 with Dominik: **Apr 14 (Tue, 4 days)** — agenda task created ✓; begin collecting items
- macOS Big Sur EOL — O-L Rubric fields outstanding (DAU %, Frequency, Impact Evidence, Cost Estimate/Confidence) — planning task, no hard date, but rubric bot is active

## Priority Order for Today
_Baseline: Ship Review due today is the week's critical gate. Items 14 unblock or close the Ship Review. Items 59 are independently important but do not affect the TP timeline._
| # | Action | Why now |
|---|---|---|
| **1** | **Set today's 1-Must** (natural candidate: Ship Review Gary/Alessandro ping) | Daily ritual; 30 seconds |
| **2** | **Ping Gary + Alessandro to re-verify the Apr 9 builds** | Ship Review due TODAY; silence ≠ approval; must allow response time |
| **3** | **Design Review: Blinking Address Bar — close or post review** | +3d overdue; Ship Review cannot cleanly close with an open subtask |
| **4** | **Respond to Sam S + investigate CI ErrorPageTests** | +1d overdue; direct ask from teammate |
| **5** | **Triage GeolocationProviderTests (Eduardo's assign)** | New assign Apr 9; due Apr 20 — scope it today while context is fresh |
| **6** | **Triage Fire Window animation regression** | Mark flagged regression yesterday — regression = priority before next release |
| **7** | **Reply to Nastia re: Warn Before Quit pixels** | Direct stakeholder question; 2-min response |
| **8** | **Follow up with Christie re: EP2/3 Calibration** | +7d overdue delegated; one-line ping |
| **9** | **Follow up with Juan Pereira re: Pinned tab** | Due today, 11d no activity |
_Items 79 are all under 5 minutes. The only item that materially moves the week forward is #2 — Ship Review closure unblocks the next TP project (iOS: Demo tracker blocking, due May 11)._
