## Daily Brief — 2026-05-29 (Friday)

### ✨ Morning
On this day in 1919, Arthur Eddington photographed a total solar eclipse from the island of Príncipe and measured starlight bending around the sun — the first real-world confirmation of Einstein's general relativity. Light bent by gravity, captured on a glass plate, observed from a tropical island. Curious how the universe sometimes hands over its secrets in such specific places.
💧 Start with a glass of water.

> Anchor: Today's focus per last week's plan — land TP subtasks (Hide stop chat, Persist 'You've got this'), resolve Treatment B scope question. New signals since yesterday: 17 task changes, 17 new comments — Alessandro raised a Treatment B / tracker-blocker experiment conflict that needs a decision.

> Context note: No `plan-2026-05-25.md` found (weekly retrospective `2026-05-29.md` used as baseline). No prior daily brief exists — this is the first.

## Plan for Today

1. ⚡ [Desktop Browser Feature Owner Survey](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214940335721015) — 5-min anonymous survey, 3 days overdue. Momentum starter.
2. 🔴 [Ship AI onboarding winner (Treatment B)](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215009192158955) — respond to Alessandro's scope question (releasing Treatment B mid-experiment may compromise tracker-blocker data). Decide: option 1 (wind-down via remote config) vs option 2 (wait for sample size). 1d overdue.
3. 🔴 [Hide Free plan • Upgrade in onboarding](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215009192158952) — PR #5149 has ✅ CI + ✅ review. Merge and close. 1d overdue.
4. 🔴 [Hide "stop chat" button in input box](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215009192158954) — TP subtask due today. Implement.
5. 🔴 [Persist 'You've got this' dialogue in non-focused state](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215009192158950) — TP subtask due today. Implement.
6. 🟠 [PR Check failing on main](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214797526093576) — 14d overdue, time-box 30 min per weekly plan. Triage flaky test.
7. 🟠 PR Reviews batch — ~11 review requests + mentions queued in GitHub. Batch after TP block.
8. 🟡 Nudge delegated: Privacy Triage → Jake (8d overdue), Dependabot → Tom (4d, gentle).

Ordering: #1 quick win for momentum; #2–5 are TP-block (Treatment B needs decision before further sub-work; merge → implement). #6 is the weekly-plan carry-over flagged "Mon 30 min" — slipped past Monday, do it Friday. #7 batched. No 1-Must override (today's 1-Must is due today, not stale).
