## Daily Brief — 2026-05-06
### ✨ Morning
On May 6, 1954, Roger Bannister became the first person to run a mile in under 4 minutes — clocking 3:59.4. He was a medical student at the time and had trained in 30-minute lunchbreak sessions.
💧 Start with a glass of water.
> ⚠️ **Holiday context:** Alex is AFK May 18. DB last synced Apr 30 — data is 6 days stale. Today's brief is a return-prep snapshot. No new signals have come in since Apr 30.
## Plan for Today
1. ⚡ Assign or close **Localization - 2-5 days** delegated task — due Apr 28, no assignee, sitting unowned
2. 🔴 Check if **Samantha's PR #4648** (Failing pixels fix) has merged → close Asana task [1214280588891026](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214280588891026) if merged
3. 🟠 Triage **Ship Review: (iOS Only) Ensure compatibility on iPad** ([1214396826612252](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214396826612252)) — in inbox since Apr 29, no due date, needs reviewer assigned
4. 🟠 Plan May 9 return block: fix unified toggle input breakages → get [ON HOLD] Ship Review back off hold (due May 11/15)
5. Batch PR reviews — 7 review requests queued (last checked Apr 30)
