Daily Brief — 2026-04-28 (Tuesday)

Anchor: Today's focus per weekly plan — heavy meeting day (Apple Weekly + O-N Weekly + 1:1 with Dominik). No deep work after 1:1; inbox + comment triage only. New signals since yesterday: TD re-review ✅ DONE, Diego approved PR #4510 ✅ (close Asana task), 2 new DRI async comments from Pete + Alessandro requiring unifiedToggleInput test confirmation, Costas replied cb1/cb2 on PSR (Alex responded + new build sent — now waiting Costas morning JST test), new GH UI Tests failure task assigned by József.

✨ Morning

On this day in 2001, Dennis Tito became the world's first paying space tourist — launching to the ISS aboard a Russian Soyuz after reportedly paying ~$20 million for the ticket. NASA wasn't thrilled, but he went anyway, and a new industry was born.

🚶 Take a short walk before diving in — big meeting day ahead.

🔴 Urgent / Overdue

[OVERDUE] [DRI] — PR Check is failing on main: testWhenTabWithConnectionLost… gid:1213975496167929 Context: Due Apr 22 (+6d). Sam S's original ping Apr 8. Four automated overdue reminders, no Alex response. Carried through 2 weekly plans and now into week 3. Action: Post 2-line "investigating, ETA Wed" comment to Sam S today. (5 min — zero code required.)

[OVERDUE] [DRI] — Follow-up: restore onboarding state for duck.ai non-experiment flow gid:1213992139518104 Context: Due Apr 27 (+1d). Inbox task; no comments. Still open. Action: Confirm state restore is shipped/tracked and complete the Asana task, or move to active if still pending.

[RESOLVED → CLOSE] — Proposal: Rollback /Applications/DEBUG install dir gid:1214136461142650 Context: Diego approved PR #4510 Apr 27 ("it is now working even from the build directory — great news. I've approved the PR."). Asana task still open/overdue. Action: Mark Asana task complete. (2 min)

[COMPLETED ✅] — Tech Design: iOS AI onboarding for custom product pages gid:1213551226650171 — completed Apr 28 06:22. Cleared from list. [COMPLETED ✅] — Project Update Reminder gid:1214146824281003 — completed Apr 27.

🟠 Needs Action Today

TP — DRI Async (new signal)

[NEEDS ACTION] [DRI] — DRI <> Project Advisor async: Demo tracker blocking gid:1213551072611261 Context: Pete (Apr 27) pinged Alex and Frederico — all onboarding work must work correctly with the soon-to-ship unifiedToggleInput flag. Alessandro (Apr 28 01:09) followed up directly asking Alex to test the changes with unifiedToggleInput enabled. Action: Acknowledge on the thread; add unifiedToggleInput flag test to TP checklist for PR #4591/#4584. Confirm whether current changes have been validated.

Ship Reviews (Author)

[WAITING — MONITORING] [AUTHOR] — Pre-Ship-Review iOS AI onboarding gid:1214147157456480 Context: Alex responded Apr 27 20:00 with updated video + build after Costas's cb1/cb2 questions. Costas said "I'll test the new build tomorrow morning JST" — that's today. Window open until Apr 30. Action: Monitor for Costas's test results this morning. If cb1 (keyboard on Visit Site screen) or cb2 (subscription sheet layering) re-raised, respond promptly — window closes tomorrow. Alex is NOT the current blocker; waiting for Costas's re-test.

New Assignment — GH CI

[NEEDS ACTION] [DRI] — GH Workflow Failure - UI Tests gid:1214288272402074 Context: József assigned Apr 27, linking it to gid:1214167538194692 (earlier UI test failure). Alex is now DRI. No comment from Alex yet. Action: Triage — is this a flake, a regression, or the same root cause as 1214167538194692? Post 1-line status comment. (15 min)

Career / 1:1

[NEEDS ACTION] [AUTHOR] — 1:1 with Dominik — TODAY Context: 1:1 agenda gid:1214157855537862 was updated Apr 27. Confirm it covers: Primary AOR target discussion, Christie EP2/3 calibration check, testWhenTabWithConnectionLost structural pattern (3+ weeks, Sam S silent), AFK handoff brief. Action: Review agenda before the meeting; bring the Advisor Readiness doc progress as a concrete artifact if Part 1 was drafted yesterday.
