🔄 Didn't Move

CI failing test: testWhenTabWithConnectionLostError... — OVERDUE (due Apr 9) Sam asked Alex to investigate on Apr 8 ("looks like a flaky test — unreliable runner connection"). No response or close yet. This is sitting in Apple CI Failing Tests inbox. Likely next step: reproduce locally or check runner infra; respond to Sam.

Design Review: Blinking Address Bar — OVERDUE (due Apr 7) Still open in macOS Release Board inbox. No comments found in DB. Why stalled: likely queued but deprioritized as Ship Review consumed the week. Next step: schedule or complete the design review, or push due date.

macOS Fire Window animation — STALLED (no activity since Mar 23) Dominik opened a PR for Alex to review on Mar 23 and noted Alex may know edge cases. No close this week. Why stalled: PR sits waiting for Alex's code review. Next step: review Dominik's PR and approve or comment.

Feature flag: warnBeforeQuit — OVERDUE (due Mar 13) No activity since Mar 14. Related to "Remove or re-evaluate Warn Before Quit pixels" (due Apr 24). Why stalled: deprioritized. Next step: assess if feature flag can be removed now or needs the pixels task first.

Follow-up: remove autocompleteTabs from Privacy Config — OVERDUE (due Mar 12) No activity since Mar 12. Why stalled: likely waiting on a Privacy Config release or forgotten. Next step: check if Privacy Config change was shipped; close or re-date accordingly.

🔗 Open Loops Carrying Forward

Ship Reviews in progress

iOS Toggle Screen Ship Review (due today) — Alessandro ✅, Gary ❓, Costas ❓. Two approvals still outstanding. This is the critical open loop going into next week.
Ship Review: Pull Request(s) (subtask) — Alex requested Alessandro's approval Mar 20; Alessandro confirmed build is good today but formal subtask approval not yet recorded in DB.

Tech Designs awaiting re-review None.

Delegated tasks overdue

Calibration for EP2/3 reviews for Apple engineers (assigned to Christie) — due Apr 3, now 7 days overdue. Follow up with Christie on status.

Incidents without postmortem None identified.

PFRs awaiting decision summary None identified.

📅 Next Week Setup

TP Suggestion: Ship-Review: iOS Toggle Screen → close it. Alessandro confirmed all issues fixed today. The review is past its Apr 10 due date. The single highest-value action next week is securing Gary and Costas's final approvals. Post a summary comment Monday pointing to Alessandro's confirmation and explicitly request their sign-off. This has been the TP for several weeks — it needs to ship.

Once closed, shift TP to: Follow-up: add support to restore onboarding state for duck.ai non-experiment flow (created today, no due date set yet — set one).

Upcoming rotation None starting next week.

OOO watch Alex was AFK Apr 8 (sick). No upcoming OOO identified for self or close collaborators.

1:1 with Dominik — Tuesday Apr 14 (4 days) No agenda items added yet. Key items to bring based on this week:

Ship Review final status — closed or still blocked on Gary/Costas?
macOS Big Sur EOL direction — Dominik narrowed scope today (two issues closed, two won't be addressed). Does this task need a formal scoping update or can it close?
Calibration for EP2/3 — Christie is 7 days overdue; flag if she needs a reminder or extension
CI failing test — Sam flagged for Alex; update Dominik if it's a systemic issue
