Raw Blame History


Weekly Plan — Week of 2026-04-07

Top Priority: Ship-Review: [iOS] Introduce toggle screen with Search or Duck.ai default — due Thu Apr 10. Alex is DRI. Three subtasks landed in inbox today (SH1, GJ13, Design Review: Blinking Address Bar), all due today. Pixel PR due tomorrow. Must close by Thursday to unblock "iOS: Demo tracker blocking after chat in onboarding" (due Apr 21), which Gary explicitly tied to this ship.

⚠️ Scope flag: The 1:1 agenda notes "Ship Review shifted again due to new incoming scope changes." Confirm with Dominik today whether Apr 10 is still the hard target or if it slips. If it slips, recalibrate the shape below.


Quadrants

Quadrant Target This Week Notes
Project 60% 75% SR closes Thursday; SH1 + GJ13 + pixel PR land MonTue; address bar bugs batch starts Fri
AOR 20% 10% Light AOR week — Downloaded file names PR pending merge only; do_later quick-wins if time allows
Career 15% 10% 1:1 is today (Monday) rather than mid-week; all career prep folds into today's meeting
Strategy 5% 5% TD: Duck.ai native storage review due today

Note on Career: Target reduced from 15% because the 1:1 falls on Monday — no mid-week prep window. Boost back to 15% next week when 1:1 prep returns.

AOR boundary: No standalone bugs or maintenance tasks this week that are independent of the Ship Review. The pixel PR and SH1 subtasks count under Project. Light AOR week.

Must-Not-Forget

  • SH1/ double dialog (gid:1213959867405504) — due TODAY — Alex is DRI on Ship Review; this is the last known blocking issue Gary flagged. Not fixed in Apr 3 build. Fix and post build before Gary's review window Wednesday.
  • GJ13/ Finish onboarding on search (gid:1213959867405501) — due TODAY — Ship Review subtask newly assigned to Alex. Pair with SH1 fix in same build.
  • Design Review: Blinking Address Bar (gid:1213959867405506) — due TODAY — new item assigned to Alex this morning, likely new scope from the "incoming scope changes" flagged in 1:1 agenda. Clarify in 1:1 whether it blocks ship.
  • PR: iOS Pixel Definition implementation (gid:1213965896419838) — due TOMORROW Apr 8 — just auto-assigned to Alex today as Ship Review subtask. Needs to ship with the new build.
  • TD: Duck.ai native storage on Apple (gid:1213900433181769) — due TODAY — last week's review confirmed Alex as primary reviewer; Fernando posted ready-to-review Apr 6 with draft PR + privacy config PR; active thread ongoing this morning. Alex has not reviewed. Note: source=following in DB — confirm you are a named reviewer before posting; if not named, move to On Radar.

Ship Review Consolidation

All SR signals consolidated here. Do not re-surface in AOR, Strategy, or Carried Forward.

On Radar

  • TD: [iOS] Only display final destination URL (gid:1213882661942199) — assigned to Eduardo; Alex posted an edge-case concern Apr 6; Eduardo to address and re-request review. No action until Eduardo responds.
  • TD: Filter pixels by N latest versions (gid:1213488065635338, due Wed Apr 9) — assigned to Diego (source=project). ⚠️ DRI conflict: last week's review (Apr 6) classified Alex as DRI, but DB shows assignee_name=Diego, source=project. Clarify with Diego or Dominik before EOD today — confirm whether Alex has any action here before the Apr 9 deadline.
  • G14/ Dax talking image missing in contextual onboarding screens (gid:1213915298514159) — assigned to Gary, macOS Release Board; no action for Alex unless tagged.

Career Action This Week

Raise Project Advisor in today's 1:1 with Dominik — it is not currently listed as a discussion point in the agenda. This is the #1 EP3 lever per career-notes.md and has had zero activity. Add it verbally: "I want to start working toward a Project Advisor role — which project would make sense to advise on next cycle?" (5 min, today).

Also confirm: Christie's EP2/3 calibration (gid:1213760134490549, due Apr 3, 4 days overdue) — already in today's 1:1 agenda. Get explicit confirmation from Dominik that submission happened or flag urgency.
