## Daily Brief — 2026-04-29 (Wednesday)
**Anchor**: Today's focus per weekly plan — TP deep work day (PR #4544 chunking + testWhenTabWithConnectionLost RCA). New signals: Pete commented on Ship Review after Alex's last message (Alex is now the blocker — PSR window closes TOMORROW). DRI async: Alex is NOT the blocker (responded Apr 28 19:51). Rollback /DEBUG task ✅ closed yesterday. 1:1 with Dominik ✅ done. AFK starts in 2 days (May 1) — handoff tomorrow.
### ✨ Morning
On April 29, 1954, Mr. Potato Head became the first toy ever advertised on American television — a 30-second spot that kicked off a $4 billion industry and changed how toys are marketed forever.
💧 Start with a glass of water.
## Plan for Today
1. ⚡ Post 2-line "investigating, ETA today" comment to Sam S on testWhenTabWithConnectionLost `gid:1213975496167929` — 5 min, OVERDUE +7d, resets the clock before deep work starts.
2. 🔴 Respond to Pete's Ship Review question on `gid:1214147157456478` — confirm/clarify unified native input compatibility. Pete commented Apr 28 22:01 after Alex's last message. PSR window closes TOMORROW.
3. 🟠 TP deep work: PR #4544 chunking — split into reviewable units per Alessandro's Apr 22 guidance; push first chunk `gid:1213551050320249`.
4. 🟠 Text selection in address bar `gid:1214071796247142` — **due TOMORROW (May 1)**. Triage PR #4548 CI 🔴; post Asana status linking PR.
5. 🟠 GH Workflow Failure UI Tests `gid:1214288272402074` — post 1-line triage comment (flake? regression? same root as `gid:1214167538194692`?). Still no Alex comment.
6. 📦 AFK handoff — nudge reviewers on PRs #4482, #4483, #4530. **Tomorrow is the hard deadline** before May 1 AFK start.
7. 🟠 PR review inbox — 6 queued reviews (batch if not completed yesterday): prettier-plugin-multiline-arrays, value transformer observability, force-unwrap debugDescription, maestro tests, iPad toggle iOS 7.211, attributed_metric_data_store_error.
8. 🟡 Delegated closeouts — 2-min batch: ping Anh Do (`gid:1212305913722018`) + Deepankar (`gid:1211742725064177`). Do NOT carry into AFK week.

### 🔴 Urgent / Overdue
**[OVERDUE +7d] [DRI]** — PR Check is failing on main: testWhenTabWithConnectionLost… `gid:1213975496167929`
Context: Due Apr 22. Sam S asked Apr 8 ("looks like a flaky test — any chance you can take a look?"). Four automated reminders since. No Alex comment ever. Carried through 3 weekly plans.
Action: Post 2-line comment to Sam S: "Investigating — flaky runner suspected, targeting reproduce + RCA today." (5 min — zero code.)
**[OVERDUE +2d] [DRI]** — Follow-up: restore onboarding state for duck.ai non-experiment flow `gid:1213992139518104`
Context: Due Apr 27. No comments. Still open in inbox. Plan said close-out or move to active.
Action: Confirm whether shipped/tracked and complete the Asana task, or add a due date and move to active.
**[COMPLETED ✅ yesterday]** — Proposal: Rollback /Applications/DEBUG install dir `gid:1214136461142650` — completed Apr 28 17:15. Cleared.
**[COMPLETED ✅ yesterday]** — 1:1 Dominik Agenda `gid:1214157855537862` — completed Apr 28 11:12. Cleared.
**[COMPLETED ✅ yesterday]** — TD re-review: iOS AI onboarding `gid:1213551226650171` — completed Apr 28. Cleared.
**[BACKLOG CLUSTER]** — `do_later`/`quick_wins` with stale dates: warnBeforeQuit pixels (May 1 AOR Quick Win paired), Feature flag warnBeforeQuit, page reload JS wrapping (Apr 22), Phase out Singletons. Stale dates expected; not urgent today. AOR Quick Wins (warnBeforeQuit pair) targeted for Thu before AFK.

### 🟠 Needs Action Today
**Ship Review (DRI) — NEW BLOCKER**
[NEEDS ACTION] [DRI] — Ship Review: iOS: Demo tracker blocking after chat in onboarding `gid:1214147157456478`
Context: Pete commented Apr 28 22:01 (AFTER Alex's "Ship Review is up" at 19:48): *"Confirming — this change will be compatible with the native unified input?"*@mentioned Alex, CC'd 3 others. PSR window closes **tomorrow (Apr 30)**. Alex is the current blocker.
Action: Respond to Pete confirming unified input compatibility (or flag the gap). 5 min — critical path before window closes.
**TP — DRI Async (monitoring)**
[MONITORING] [DRI] — DRI <> Project Advisor async: Demo tracker blocking `gid:1213551072611261`
Context: Alex responded Apr 28 19:51 confirming PRs are up. Alessandro's ask (test with `unifiedToggleInput` flag) is partially addressed — Alex committed to "addressing issues caused by the unified toggle task later this week." Alex is NOT the blocker today; waiting on further PA input.
Monitoring note: Ensure unifiedToggleInput flag testing is in PR #4591/#4584 checklist before AFK.
**TP — Deep Work (primary focus)**
[IN FLIGHT] [AUTHOR] — iOS: Demo tracker blocking `gid:1213551050320249` + PR #4544
Context: Weekly plan slots all of today for PR #4544 chunking. Alessandro's Apr 22 guidance: divide into reviewable chunks. PRs #4584 and #4591 are on feature branch, CI 🔴. PR #4544 is on main, CI 🔴.
Action: Split PR #4544 into reviewable units; push first chunk. This is the week's primary project work.
**AOR — Address Bar**
[OVERDUE TOMORROW] [DRI] — Text selection in address bar `gid:1214071796247142`**due May 1**
Context: PR #4548 in flight (CI 🔴). No Asana status update yet. Last modified Apr 28.
Action: Triage PR #4548 CI — fix or flag flake; post Asana comment linking PR with ETA. (30 min)
**GH CI**
[NEEDS ACTION] [DRI] — GH Workflow Failure - UI Tests `gid:1214288272402074`
Context: Assigned by József Apr 27 (linked to earlier failure `gid:1214167538194692`). Still no Alex comment.
Action: Post 1-line triage: flake, regression, or same root cause as `1214167538194692`? (15 min)
**AFK Handoff — 2 Days**
[NEEDS ACTION] [DRI] — AFK May 18 handoff `gid:1212694796293417`
Context: Alex AFK starts May 1 (Thursday). Tomorrow is the last working day. PRs #4482, #4483, #4530 still need reviewer nudges.
Action: Slack each reviewer with "I'm AFK May 18 — any blockers before then?" Draft the nudge messages today, send by EOD.
