🔴 Urgent / Overdue

[OVERDUE] [DRI] — Performance Review Process Tasks: 2026-02 - Alex Martemyanov Context: Due 2026-02-11 — 54 days overdue. No comments visible in DB. Unknown whether work is complete or abandoned. Action: Open task now. If done, mark complete. If not, identify what's outstanding and either complete today or escalate to Dominik in tomorrow's 1:1.

[OVERDUE] [DRI] — Follow-up: remove autocompleteTabs from Privacy Config Context: Due 2026-03-12 — 25 days overdue. Section: do_later. No activity since task was created. Action: Either do the follow-up (post comment to relevant task/PR) or explicitly reschedule with a realistic date.

[OVERDUE] [DRI] — 📝 Provide feedback about the maintenance process (macOS App Development) Context: Due 2026-03-20 — 17 days overdue. No recent activity. Action: Write and post the maintenance process feedback today, or reschedule with a committed date.

[OVERDUE] [DRI] — [Required] Install Asana MCP Hooks & Rules for Claude Code Context: Due 2026-03-27 — 10 days overdue. Asana MCP is now running (this session uses it), suggesting it may be done. Action: If setup is complete, mark task complete. If any hooks remain unconfigured, finish now — it's marked Required.

[OVERDUE] [DRI] — Feature flag: warnBeforeQuit (Apple Feature Flags Registry) Context: Due 2026-03-13 — 24 days overdue. Section: do_later. Action: Check if the flag has been registered/deployed. If done, mark complete. If still pending, reschedule.

Backlog cluster — 8+ tasks with stale due dates (2023–2025), all in do_later / quick_wins sections Context: e.g. "Proposal: Phase out Singletons" (due 2023-07-24), "Bug: Tab preview stuck around" (due 2025-04-15), "Duo login to Grafana" (due 2025-07-23). These appear to be backlog items with un-updated dates, not active work items. Action: Do a batch cleanup pass — reschedule or explicitly park as indefinite backlog. Use "Review Overdue Tasks Summary" task as your vehicle (itself 69 days overdue).

🟠 Needs Action Today

Ship Reviews

[NEEDS ACTION] [DRI] — Ship-Review: [iOS] Introduce a new screen that allows usage of the toggle with Search or Duck.ai set as the default toggle state (due 2026-04-10) Context: Alex posted last on Apr 3 (build update addressing GJ15, partial GJ/14 discussion). Gary responded Apr 4 with new items — GJ12/a–b directed at Barbara G. (@her profile linked), GJ13/a–b (omnibar and contextual search issues in focused state — likely native/Alex), GJ14 (remove speech bubble border from "You've got this!" dialogue — likely native/Alex). Stephen raised SH1 (double dialog on Surprise me! path). No Alex response in 2 days. Action: Post response today:

GJ12/a–b → Barbara G.'s items (FE/webview). Acknowledge and route: "GJ12/a+b — Barbara, these are yours."
GJ13/a–b → Investigate omnibar disable and contextual dialog triggering in focused state. Fix if native.
GJ14 → Remove speech bubble border on "You've got this!" dialogue (native change).
SH1 → Reproduce Surprise me! double dialog. Confirm owner — Stephen or Alex? Ship review is due Apr 10. 4 days remaining — no room to let feedback sit another day.
