## Daily Brief — 2026-05-31
### ✨ Morning
On this day in 1859, Big Ben — the iconic clock tower at Westminster — began keeping time for the first time. The bell itself cracked within months and had to be re-cast, but the clockwork mechanism has run almost continuously for 167 years.
🚶 Take a short walk before diving in.
**Anchor**: Today is Sunday. The new week's plan (Mon 2026-06-01 onwards) is set — TP umbrella due Fri 2026-06-05. Yesterday's brief not found (Saturday). New signals since Friday: 3 task changes, 1 new comment (Warn Before Quit pixels), 1 unresolved discussion on Ship AI onboarding winner.
## Plan for Today
1. ⚡ **[Desktop Browser Feature Owner Survey](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214940335721015)** — 5-min anonymous survey, 5 days overdue. Knock it out first thing.
2. 🔴 **Resolve Ship AI onboarding winner discussion** — PR #5145 CI red **and** [Alessandro raised release-feasibility concern](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215009192158955) Fri 5/29 (tracker blocker experiment may conflict). Decide direction before touching the PR.
3. 🔴 **Merge [Hide Free plan • Upgrade](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215009192158952)** — PR #5149 already ✅ approved, CI green. Quickest TP win.
4. 🔴 **Ping reviewers on [Hide stop-chat button](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215009192158954)** — PR #5173 ✅ CI green but waiting on review (2 days overdue).
5. 🟠 **Reply on [Warn Before Quit pixels](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1212808567112832)** — commenter pinged Fri 5/30 explicitly asking for a PR or a date adjustment. Quick reply or open the PR.
6. 🟠 **Start [Persist 'You've got this' dialogue](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215009192158950)** — TP subtask due Monday. Last queued piece before Ship Review can open.
7. 🟠 **Review [PR: Make our macOS app Monterrey-only](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215150214975916)** — 4 days overdue, gated on Big Sur drop closing Mon.
8. **PR review batch** — 11 review requests / mentions queued in GitHub. Batch after the TP block.
9. **Triage 2 CI failing-tests entries** — combine [#1213975496167929](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1213975496167929) (39d) + [#1214797526093576](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214797526093576) (16d) into a single triage block.
