## Daily Brief — 2026-05-11
### ✨ Morning
On May 11, 1997, IBM's Deep Blue defeated Garry Kasparov in Game 6 of their rematch — the first time a computer ever beat a reigning world chess champion under standard tournament conditions. Kasparov famously accused IBM of cheating. (They didn't. The machine just saw moves he didn't.)
💧 Start with a glass of water. Welcome back.

## Plan for Today
1. ⚡ Ping Dominik to reschedule 1:1 — 2 min, zero ambiguity. Momentum starter.
2. 🔴 Unhold iOS onboarding Ship Review — assess Costas's QA, push UTI fixes build, drive toward May 15 deadline.
3. 🟠 Triage inbox: Text selection task, Pinned tab task, Onboarding follow-up restore state — decide: fix, delegate, or defer.
4. 🟠 Batch 7 PR review requests — do after TP block.
5. 🟡 Check in on Localization delegated task (Localization - 2-5 days, overdue since Apr 28, no assignee).
