### 🔴 Urgent / Overdue
**1. OVERDUE [DRI] — PR Check failing on main — testWhenTabWithConnectionLostErrorActivatedAndReloadFailsAgain** `gid:1213975496167929`
- Context: Due 2026-04-09 (6 days overdue). Sam flagged Apr 8 as "looks like a flaky runner connection" — no investigation response from Alex yet.
- Action: Check CI runner logs / attempt local reproduction; reply to Sam with findings ("investigating" or "confirmed flaky — disabling pending fix").
**2. NEEDS ACTION [DRI] — NEW CI failure: PR Check is failing on main** `gid:1214067738586364`
- Context: New task, due **today** (Apr 15). Alessandro commented at 02:14 UTC: *"Fatal error: The test is causing a real navigation action to https://duckduckgo.com/ — this integration test crashed after merging c-s-s into main. Could you please take a look?"* Direct ask to Alex; direct consequence of yesterday's c-s-s major merge.
- Action: Investigate the crashed integration test; respond to Alessandro with findings or a fix.
**3. OVERDUE [DELEGATED] — Alex: Calibration for EP2/3 reviews for Apple engineers** `gid:1213760134490549`
- Context: Assigned to Christie; due 2026-04-03 (12 days overdue). No confirmation of submission. Dominik OOO until Apr 21 — can't escalate via 1:1 until Apr 28.
- Action: Ping Christie directly: *"Hey Christie — quick check-in on the EP2/3 calibration submission — were you able to get that in?"*
> **Must-Not-Forget status check**: `PR: content-scope-scripts 🔴 [major] 13.41.0 → 14.0.0` `gid:1214050584863995` — ✅ **COMPLETED yesterday** (Apr 14, 12:50 UTC). Off the list.

### ✨ Morning
Today is Leonardo da Vinci's birthday — born April 15, 1452. He left behind ~13,000 pages of notebooks written in mirror script, covering flying machines, anatomy, optics, and hydraulics. He also had a habit of buying caged birds at markets just to set them free.
💧 Start with a glass of water.
