### Headline: iOS Demo Tracker Blocking Onboarding shipped to release branch
After 3 weeks of Ship Review iteration (kicked off Apr 28, paused for AFK), the project landed on May 20. PR merged to release branch → ships to internal release. Privacy Config updated to disable the old experiment and enable the new tracker-blocking demo.

## 📅 Next Week Setup (May 25–29)

**TP Suggestion:** [iOS Address onboarding conflicts with unified input and ship AI onboarding winner](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214592943696234) (due Jun 2)
*Reasoning:* Gary explicitly tagged this as Alex's next TP on May 7 ("after shipping the 2nd onboarding experiment, Alessandro as advisor"). Demo tracker shipped May 20 → this is the active critical path. Jun 2 deadline; May 25–29 (minus May 27 AFK) is the main work window.

**Rotation:** None starting next week. macOS App Maintenance just ran May 15–22; Friday all-hands handoff today.

**OOO watch:** [AFK May 27, Wed (holiday)](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1212694796293421) — single-day, minimal handoff. Start [WWDC partial-AFK Jun 8–12](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1212684797790491) prep next week.

**1:1 prep — Dominik, May 26 (Tue)** — [new agenda task](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214933759913756) currently empty. Items to bring:
- Demo tracker onboarding shipped ✅ — close out the cycle.
- Decision on parent [ON HOLD 1213320237636425](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1213320237636425) — close or rescope.
- Next TP confirmation — Onboarding conflicts + UTI shipping.
- Two stale delegated tasks (Deepankar autofill, Anh Do DBP) — 5–6 months overdue, want an exit path.
- WWDC prep window (Jun 8–12) — coverage needs.
- Also close the [old agenda](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214339792109087) (May 5).

**Other deadlines:** [Desktop Browser Feature Owner Survey](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214940335721015) due May 26 (5 min). [PR: iOS Transition to Contextual](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214928613949181) overdue May 21 — address Monday.
