Weekly Plan

Weekly Plan — Week of 2026-04-14

Note on source files: 2026-04-11.md does not exist (Apr 11 is Saturday). Used 2026-04-10.md (actual last Friday). Weekly plan from plan-2026-04-13.md is empty (1 line). Dominik AFK Apr 13–20 (Apple Meetup) confirmed from DB — today's 1:1 is cancelled. Next 1:1 window: ~Apr 28.

Top Priority: Follow-up: add support to restore onboarding state for duck.ai non-experiment flow gid:1213992139518104 — the iOS Toggle Screen Ship Review closed this morning (Apr 14); the non-experiment duck.ai path needs onboarding state restoration before the public release on Apr 20; scoping and initial implementation on Tuesday is the highest-value project action this week.

TP queue note: iOS: Demo tracker blocking after chat in onboarding (gid:1213551050320249, due May 11) is queued in the top_priority section and per rule takes precedence over spawned follow-ups — however, this follow-up has a harder time dependency (Apr 20 public release) that justifies re-ordering this week only. Demo tracker is next TP after this follow-up clears.

Quadrants

Quadrant	Target	This Week	Notes
Project	60%	20%	Quick Wins week: only Tuesday available for project work; follow-up scoping/impl on Tue only
AOR	20%	60%	Three full Quick Wins Days (Wed–Fri) pull this up; content-scope-scripts PR + CI test + pinned tab bug all land here
Career	15%	15%	No 1:1 (Dominik OOO) — skip prep; use freed time for Advisor Readiness doc
Strategy	5%	5%	Assessment comment if a slot opens during Quick Wins

Must-Not-Forget

PR: content-scope-scripts 🔴 [major] 13.41.0 → 14.0.0 (apple-browsers) gid:1214050584863995 — assignee: Alex due 2026-04-14 (TODAY) — major version bump with likely breaking changes; Alex must review and approve, reject, or explicitly defer with a comment before EOD
PR Check failing on main — testWhenTabWithConnectionLostErrorActivatedAndReloadFailsAgain gid:1213975496167929 — assignee: Alex due 2026-04-09 (5 days overdue) — Sam flagged this for Alex on Apr 8 as likely flaky; Alex owes Sam an investigation response
Pinned tab opens link in background tab gid:1214038885921128 — assignee: Alex due 2026-04-17 (Friday) — new bug from Internal Product Feedback; must be triaged and resolved or scoped before end of Quick Wins week
macOS: Fire Window animation not played when closing window using cmd+w gid:1213760440471324 — assignee: Alex no due date — Dominik's PR has waited for Alex's review since Mar 23 (3+ weeks stalled); Dominik returns Apr 21 from meetup; close this before he's back
Alex: Calibration for EP2/3 reviews for Apple engineers gid:1213760134490549 — assignee: Christie due 2026-04-03 (11 days overdue) — Alex delegated this; Christie has not confirmed submission; Dominik is OOO so Alex should ping Christie directly this week rather than waiting for the Apr 28 1:1

AOR Quick Wins This Week

PR Check failing on main — testWhenTabWithConnectionLostError… gid:1213975496167929 overdue 5 days — investigate flakiness (Sam: "looks like a flaky runner connection"); reproduce locally or check CI runner infra; respond to Sam with findings; likely disable or mark flaky
Consider removing or reworking mac_malicious-site-protection_client-timeout gid:1210855358441832 in quick_wins, due 2025-07-23 — evaluate if this Privacy Config feature flag is still needed; removal is low-risk if the feature has been stable
Feature flag: warnBeforeQuit gid:1212444166689969 overdue since 2026-03-13 — check if dependent "Warn Before Quit pixels" work (gid:1212808567112832, due Apr 24) allows this flag to be removed now; if so, remove
If a page fails to load and I try to reload it, the URL gets wrapped in JavaScript code gid:1207267367762569 in quick_wins, due 2026-04-22 — macOS browser bug in quick_wins; investigate root cause; good Quick Wins Day candidate

Sprint Backlog (pick 1–2 if time allows)

GeolocationProviderTests async tests flakiness gid:1213996660793764 due 2026-04-20 — CI fix needed; gaps during Quick Wins Fri are best slot; due Monday so must ship this week
Review Overdue Tasks Summary — 22 Tasks (Jan 2026) gid:1212881948512860 due 2026-01-27 (77 days overdue) — meta task; schedule a 20-min triage pass to close or convert to real tasks

(+ 3 aged items >180 days in backlog — Bug: Tab preview stuck [364d], Duo login to Grafana [265d], Assertion Failure Pixel Anomaly Sep 2025 [209d] — not listed)

On Radar

Desktop Browsers: Design - Improve address bar suggestions gid:1212840866528732 — testing likely Thursday Apr 16 per Fran's comment; this is address bar territory (Alex's AOR); monitor and be responsive if bugs surface during testing
PR: Address Design comments 1 (apple-browsers) gid:1214053400444448 — Pete reviewed and commented "Assigning to you but send it back to me if ready for another review"; DB shows Alex not assignee yet; monitor in case the assignment syncs to Alex's inbox

Career Action This Week

Draft Part 1 of Advisor Readiness doc (30 min) — Friday gid:1210386994396212

Priority #1 per career-notes.md: the Project Advisor goal is the single highest-leverage EP3 lever and has had zero activity. The existing task "Readiness Self-Reflection for Potential Project Advisor" (gid:1210386994396212) is already in meta. This week: open it, draft the first section (what project, why Alex is a fit, what value he'd add). 30 min on Friday during Quick Wins recovery time.

Skipped this cycle:

Primary AOR discussion — skipped; requires 1:1 with Dominik, which is cancelled (Dominik OOO Apr 13–20)
Calibration follow-up (Christie) — captured in Must-Not-Forget; Alex should ping Christie directly rather than waiting for 1:1
1:1 career prep — skipped; Dominik OOO, next 1:1 ~Apr 28; prep deferred to Apr 21–27

On Radar / Participation Needed
