None active or completed this week.


🔄 Didn't Move

[OVERDUE] [DRI] — Follow-up: remove autocompleteTabs from Privacy Config Due 2026-03-12 — 25 days overdue. No activity since due date. Deprioritized during onboarding crunch. Action: Close or set explicit new date this week.

[OVERDUE] [DRI] — Feature flag: warnBeforeQuit Due 2026-03-13. No activity since Mar 14. Action: If warnBeforeQuit shipped → close this. If not → reschedule.

[OVERDUE] [DRI] — Remove or re-evaluate Warn Before Quit pixels Due 2026-03-19. No activity since Mar 26. Action: Check if pixels are still live; close or reschedule.

[STALLED] [DRI] — Tech Design: Filter pixels by N latest versions Due Apr 9 (3 days). Last modified Mar 30. No stories. No visible progress. Action: Status check Monday — is this drafted? If not started, it's at risk.

[STALLED] [DRI] — Ship Review: Pull Request(s) (macOS Release Board, open since Mar 31) No due date, no recent activity. Likely waiting on post-batch PR merges. Action: Check if PRs landed — if so, mark complete.

[STALLED] [DRI] — GH Workflow Failure - UI Tests (macOS App Development) Last modified Mar 20. No follow-up. Action: Check if CI failure self-healed or still needs a fix.

[STALLED] [DRI] — macOS: Address bar bugs batch Parent touched Apr 6, but subtasks ("Implement fixes," "UI tests - 4d") untouched since Mar 30. Action: Status update Monday. Queued after Ship Review, or blocked?

Long-term backlog requiring periodic triage (no action this week): Tab preview stuck bug (1yr overdue), Grafana Duo login (9mo overdue), Discuss AOR prioritization with Dominik (18mo overdue). Schedule a housekeeping pass.


🔗 Open Loops Carrying Forward

[NEEDS ACTION] [DRI] — Ship-Review: iOS Toggle Screen — Due Apr 10 Two items outstanding from Gary's Apr 4 review:

  1. SH1: Double dialog on Search-only path — reported by Stephen, not yet fixed.
  2. Copy button: Still appears interactive but does nothing — Gary + Stephen want it hidden.

Last build: Apr 3. Does not address either item. Action: Post new build Mon or Tue addressing SH1 + copy button. Gary needs time to do a final pass before Friday.


[NEEDS ACTION] [REVIEWER] — Tech Design: Duck.ai native storage on Apple — Due TOMORROW (Apr 7) Fernando posted "ready to review" today (Apr 6) with draft PR + privacy config PR. Alex has not reviewed yet. Action: Review tonight or first thing tomorrow. Post approval or feedback before EOD Apr 7.

[WAITING] [REVIEWER] — Tech Design: [iOS] Only display final destination URL Alex's Apr 6 concern outstanding. Eduardo to address and re-request. Action: None until Eduardo responds.

[NEEDS ACTION] [DRI] — Tech Design: Filter pixels by N latest versions — Due Apr 9 No activity since Mar 30. At-risk. Action: Status check Monday.


[OVERDUE] [DELEGATOR] — Alex: Calibration for EP2/3 reviews Due Apr 3 (3 days overdue). Assigned to Christie. Action: Confirm with Christie — submitted? If not, flag to Dominik.

[OVERDUE] [DELEGATOR] — macOS AppStore UI tests Due today (Apr 6). Assigned to Dominik. Escalated to P1 by Luis (OPS-6451, OPS-6720 — incidents undetected 28 days and 18 hours due to lack of automated post-release testing). Action: Follow up with Dominik on status. Needs visible progress by Monday.

Incidents without postmortem: None found. PFRs awaiting decision: None found.


📅 Next Week Setup

TP Suggestion: Close the iOS Duck.ai Toggle Ship Review

Tier 1 TP: Ship-Review: iOS: Introduce toggle screen with Search or Duck.ai default

Reasoning:

  • Ship Review is due Apr 10 (Friday) — 4 days from now. Alex is DRI.
  • Two reviewer items require a new build by Mon/Tue to give Gary time for final sign-off.
  • Once this ships, "iOS: Demo tracker blocking after chat in onboarding" (due Apr 21) unlocks. Gary explicitly tied it: "As soon as Alex's ship review completes…we should kick this one off."
  • This is the highest-urgency, highest-impact closure available next week.

Tier 2 fallback: macOS: Address bar bugs batch — pivot to this if Ship Review closes mid-week.

Upcoming Rotation: None detected starting next week.

OOO Watch: Alex AFK May 18 (~3.5 weeks). No teammate OOO found for next week. No coverage needed yet.

1:1 with Dominik — TOMORROW, Apr 7 Key items to bring:

  1. macOS AppStore UI tests — Dominik is the assignee, overdue today, P1. What's the timeline?
  2. Ship Review: iOS toggle — confirm Apr 10 target; flag SH1 + copy button as the last 2 blockers.
  3. Calibration EP2/3 (Christie) — confirm submission happened before Apr 3.
  4. Next TP — close Ship Review, then address bar bugs batch.

🏆 Wins

1. 30+ iOS Onboarding Issues Closed in One Week Mar 31Apr 3: Alex swept GJ1GJ15, CT1CT3, AB1, OM1 — two test builds posted within 48 hours of each other. A significant chunk of the Duck.ai onboarding feature landed. Gary called it "very close" after weeks of iteration. This is a near-ship of a major O-N Growth objective.

2. High-Quality Technical Reviewing Across Two TDs Alex reviewed two non-trivial Tech Designs in parallel this week — each with platform-specific security reasoning. The iOS Final Destination URL TD incorporated Alex's feedback directly. The videos autoplay TD was Dominik-approved after Alex's input. Both shipped forward.

3. EP Review + Crash Fix Shipped on the Same Friday Apr 6: Performance review submitted and a duck:// crash fix merged — two separate tracks closed clean at end of week.
