> **Today's anchor:** Ship Review shifted to MONITORING — Alessandro confirmed fixes good Apr 10 07:10, Alex posted final builds + status ("aiming to merge Mon"), Gary has not re-verified. Alex is not the blocker. New signals since yesterday: 9 task changes, 11 new comments (7 are Dax build bots; 2 meaningful: Alessandro approval + Alex status). Net new action items: popupBlocking confirmation request, onboarding state follow-up, pixel anomaly assigned, error page bug, PR subtask.

### 🔴 Urgent / Overdue
**[OVERDUE +4d] [DRI] — Design Review: Blinking Address Bar** `inbox · macOS Release Board · due Apr 7`
Context: Alex self-assigned Apr 6. Zero activity since creation. 4 days past due with no review posted or conclusion reached.
Action: Open task → determine if a formal design review is required or it can be closed as "no design concerns" → post conclusion and complete the task today.
**[OVERDUE +2d] [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?"* No response or investigation from Alex in 3 days.
Action: Investigate `IntegrationTests/Tab/ErrorPageTests.swift · testWhenTabWithConnectionLostErrorActivatedAndReloadFailsAgain_errorPageIsShownOnce` — confirm network-flake diagnosis, fix or add flake annotation, reply to Sam S.

### 🟠 Needs Action Today
#### Ship Reviews (DRI)
**[MONITORING] [DRI] — Ship-Review: [iOS] Toggle screen / Duck.ai default state** `inbox · Ship Reviews · was due Apr 10`
| Reviewer | Status |
|---|---|
| Alessandro | ✅ Apr 10 07:10 — *"Issues I reported are fixed — Gary and Costas, please confirm"* |
| Alex | ✅ Apr 10 07:33 — posted final builds (all cohorts); Apr 10 11:06 — *"PRs ready to merge Mon"* |
| Gary | ⏳ Last comment Apr 9 10:14 (before fixes) — has not re-verified Apr 10 builds |
| Costas | ⏳ Conditional LGTM Apr 8 — has not re-verified Apr 10 builds |
Alex is **not** the blocker. Alessandro has pinged Gary and Costas directly.
**Monday morning:** if Gary hasn't responded overnight, ping him before merging — *"Saw Alessandro confirmed the fixes — any chance you can give the Apr 10 builds a quick pass so we can merge?"*

#### New Inbox Items — Needs Triage
**[NEEDS ACTION] [DRI] — Confirm defaultValue for popupBlocking migration** `inbox · no due date · modified Apr 10`
Context: Team migrating feature flags to `.subfeature(X.featureEnabled)` for remote control capability. Bot assigned Alex to confirm `popupBlocking` (macOS) should default to `.enabled` — which matches the current live privacy config value. PR #4381 is blocked pending this confirmation.
Action: Check PR #4381, confirm `.enabled` matches current live behavior → reply with confirmation. ~5 min, unblocks a team-wide migration PR.
**[NEEDS ACTION] [DRI] — Follow-up: add support to restore onboarding state for duck.ai non-experiment flow** `inbox · macOS Release Board · modified Apr 10`
Context: Reviewer left a comment on apple-browsers/pull/4330 (TP PR) requesting onboarding screen restoration after app restart be applied to the non-experiment flow as well. Alex created this follow-up task.
Action: Monday — decide if this is a merge blocker or a post-ship item, set a due date, and add a brief scoping note so it doesn't go stale.
**[MONITORING] [DRI] — Pixel anomaly report 2026.04.07 (mac)** `inbox · Pixel Data · modified Apr 10`
Context: Apr 7 spikes: assertion failures +195%, breakage experiment +1839%, webkit termination +42%, web extension installed +1398% (+809% daily). Anh Do triaged; Dominik (Apr 8): *"let's keep an eye on it — may be regular usage."* Now assigned to Alex.
Action: Monday — review anomaly details, assess whether any spike (especially assertion failures +195%) warrants investigation before next release. Not an immediate fire today.
**[NEEDS TRIAGE] [DRI] — Error page: icon not updated, address bar not updated on error** `inbox · no due date · modified Apr 10`
Context: New macOS bug in inbox. No description visible in DB. Modified Apr 10 11:33.
Action: Monday — open task, read description, triage and assign due date.

#### Carried Over from Yesterday (no new activity)
**[NEEDS ACTION] [DRI] — [macOS] GeolocationProviderTests async tests flakiness** `inbox · Apple CI Failing Tests · due Apr 20`
Context: Eduardo assigned Apr 9. No triage from Alex yet. Due Apr 20.
Action: Monday — review Eduardo's IPS report artifact, confirm root cause vs. prior fix.
**[NEEDS ACTION] [DRI] — macOS: Fire Window animation not played when closing via cmd+w** `inbox · macOS Release Board · no due date`
Context: Mark flagged Regression = Yes on Apr 9. No investigation from Alex.
Action: Monday — confirm whether a recent release introduced this, scope fix before next release cycle.
**[NEEDS ACTION] [DRI] — Remove or re-evaluate Warn Before Quit pixels** `do_later · due Apr 24 · modified Apr 10`
Context: Nastia asked Apr 9: *"do we still need these pixels?"* Task modified Apr 10 (still open). Awaiting reply.
Action: Reply to Nastia — confirm yes/no and state either the removal PR plan or why pixels are still needed. 2-min response.

### 🟡 Delegated — Follow Up Needed
**[OVERDUE +8d] [DELEGATOR] — Calibration: EP2/3 reviews for Apple engineers** → Christie `due Apr 3 · last activity Apr 2`
9 days past due, no status update.
Action: Ping Christie — *"Hey, just checking in on the EP2/3 calibration — any update or blockers on your end?"*
**[OVERDUE +1d] [DELEGATOR] — Pinned tab activates in other window unpinning** → Juan Pereira `due Apr 10 · modified Apr 10 09:00 UTC`
Due yesterday, not completed (DB confirmed).
Action: Ping Juan Monday — *"Just checking in — any update on the pinned tab fix? Was due yesterday."*
**[OVERDUE +1d] [DELEGATOR] — macOS AppStore UI tests** → Dominik `due Apr 10 · P1 since Apr 3`
Past due. Luis escalated to P1 Apr 3: *"Native Apps incidents undetected for 28 days (OPS-6451) and 18h (OPS-6720). All High-severity incidents caught only by user feedback."* SLA breach notice Apr 7. Not completed (DB confirmed, modified Apr 10 12:00).
Action: Follow up with Dominik Monday — this is P1, past due, and directly tied to incident detection gaps Luis surfaced.

### 🔵 Rhythms
**TP:** iOS: Introduce a new screen (toggle / Duck.ai default state) — due May 15 · last modified Apr 10 ✓ not stale
- Gate: Ship Review pending Gary/Costas re-verify → merge Monday
- Next project: iOS: Demo tracker blocking after chat (due May 11) — gated on Ship Review completion
No active rotation.
**Upcoming this week:**
- 1:1 with Dominik: **Apr 14 (Tue, 3 days)** — agenda task exists ✓; begin collecting items (AppStore UI tests P1 status is a natural agenda item)

## Priority Order for Today
*Baseline: Saturday. Ship Review in "waiting for Gary" — Alex is not the blocker. Today's practical actions are quick unblocks and close-outs that don't require Monday context.*
| # | Action | Why now |
|---|---|---|
| **1** | **Confirm popupBlocking defaultValue on PR #4381** | ~5 min, unblocks team migration PR today |
| **2** | **Reply to Nastia re: Warn Before Quit pixels** | Direct ask pending since Apr 9, 2-min response |
| **3** | **Close Design Review: Blinking Address Bar** | +4d overdue; likely a 5-min post or close |
| **4** | **Investigate CI ErrorPageTests + reply Sam S** | +2d overdue; direct teammate ask |
| **5** | **Ping Christie re: EP2/3 Calibration** | +8d overdue delegated; one-line message |
| — | *Monday:* Check Gary/Costas → merge Ship Review PRs | Weekend; Gary responds Mon |
| — | *Monday:* Triage GeolocationProviderTests, Fire Window regression, Pixel anomaly, Error page bug, onboarding follow-up | No weekend urgency; triage block Monday AM |
| — | *Monday:* Follow up Dominik (AppStore UI tests P1) and Juan (Pinned tab) | Both P1/overdue; need early-week resolution |
*Items 12 are under 10 minutes total and unblock other people. Item 3 closes a 4-day overdue flag. The only item that requires real investigation time today is #4 (CI flake) — the rest are weekend-appropriate quick actions.*
