Action: Do not let this reach Monday silently. Either (a) implement now and post a comment with PR link, or (b) post on the task today: "Won't land before Apr 20 — here's the plan" so stakeholders can adjust. One or the other this weekend.

✨ Morning
On April 18, 1934, the world's first laundromat opened in Fort Worth, Texas. Customers rented coin-operated washers by the hour, had to bring their own soap, and were limited to 4 hours — the proprietors called it a "washateria."
💧 Start with a glass of water.
