Raw Blame History

Weekly Plan — Week of 2026-06-08

Top Priority: Ship Review: iOS Address onboarding conflicts with unified input and ship AI onboarding winner — due today (Jun 8), 4-day-old SR needs a close or explicit handoff before Alex goes deep into WWDC'26 this week.

Context: Alex is partly AFK Jun 812 (WWDC'26) — light async availability all week. This week is about closing loops from last sprint, not starting new work.


Ship Review Consolidation

SR iOS Address onboarding... opened Jun 4, due today.

Status as of Jun 5 (last comments):

  • Gary confirmed scope: ship only the original experiment winner — "Try visiting a site / tracker blocking" step is not included in this release. Costas aligned.
  • Alex clarified the tracker blocker onboarding stays as-is per the validated experiment.
  • Build is up (Jun 4 Alpha 7.223.0).
  • No explicit sign-off comments from reviewers yet (Gary + Costas left scope discussion comments, not approvals).

Action today: Check if reviewers have approved asynchronously. If not, post a handoff comment ("Partly AFK Jun 812 for WWDC; tagging Costas/Gary to close by EOW if no blockers remain") and ensure all subtasks are resolved.

PRs in scope (land-ready today):

Next TP (queued): Ship AI onboarding winner (Treatment B) [0.5d] — fix CI on #5145 before Jun 15, even async from WWDC.


Quadrants

Quadrant This Week Notes
Project 70% SR close + land-ready PR merges + CI fix on #5145
AOR 15% Review requests + new inbox tasks (light)
Career 10% Calibration response (time-sensitive) + EP2 TD task
Strategy 5% O-L discussion today (WPF→Chrome/AI tools)

Shape

Mon: SR handoff + PR merges + O-L meeting

  • Ship Review: iOS Address onboarding — check reviewer status, post handoff comment if not closing today
  • Merge #5271 + #5149 — land-ready, do it before WWDC sessions
  • Investigate #5246 CI failure
  • O-L Weekly Meeting (today, discussion-heavy — AI tools + WPF→Chrome)
  • Triage new inbox tasks: Address Bar Toggle Selection: Animation Delay, Chat Response: Liquid Glass Button Disabled Styling

Tue: WWDC + Apple Weekly + O-N Weekly (async)

  • Apple Weekly Team Meeting
  • O-N Weekly Meeting
  • 1:1 with Dominik — Dominik not OOO this week, 1:1 Agenda task due Jun 9. Confirm whether meeting is happening given WWDC; if yes, keep it brief. If skipping, align with Dominik to move to Jun 15.
  • Async: start CI investigation for #5145

Wed: WWDC — light async

  • Monitor SR for close/reviewer sign-offs
  • Handle any async review requests (installType/installAge PR, phishing protection datasets)

Thu: WWDC — light async

  • Career action: EP2 TD calibration response to Sam S (15 min)
  • Async: if CI on #5145 fixed, keep PR ready to land

Fri: WWDC close-out + loop check

  • Confirm SR is closed or escalated
  • Check Check Experiment before Jun/15 — what experiment, what's needed?
  • Weekly review (abbreviated — WWDC week)

Must-Not-Forget

  • Ship Review: iOS Address onboarding — assignee: Alex due today Jun 8 — SR is 4 days old with scope questions resolved; needs sign-off from reviewers or explicit WWDC handoff comment today.

  • Localize duck.ai onboarding path — assignee: Alex due today Jun 8 — Smartling job launched Jun 4; verify it completed and strings are in. If not, escalate before going into WWDC.

  • Check Experiment before Jun/15 — assignee: Alex no due date noted, deadline Jun 15 — unclear what experiment this is; needs clarification before Alex is fully in WWDC mode.

  • Ship AI onboarding winner (Treatment B) — assignee: Alex originally due 2026-05-28 (overdue) — CI on #5145 is 🔴 (3 failing checks); must clear before Jun 15 or the experiment window closes while Alex is AFK.

  • EP2 TD Calibration - Alex — assignee: Alex in inbox (no date) — calibration task sitting in inbox; Sam S also left scoring notes on the related EP2 TD Review Calibration - 7a2 asking for Alex's response. Time-sensitive — Sam asked Jun 8.


AOR Quick Wins This Week


Sprint Backlog (pick 12 if time allows)

(+ 4 aged items >180 days in backlog — not listed)


On Radar

  • TD: Run E2E tests with internal feature flags (iOS & macOS) — Eduardo pinged the DRI of the feature flag override decoupling; if this touches Alex's feature flag work, engage.

  • TD: Proposed AOR: DDG Auth Client - Apple — Federico asking if AOR can have no secondary (Federico going on paternity leave soon); relevant to Alex's AOR discussions. Monitor.

  • O-L Weekly meeting agenda — Ivy flagged heavy discussion on AI tools during "upcoming WPF→Chrome" (comment truncated). Strategic signal — pay attention to this thread.

  • TD: Hotfix Release Process Improvements — Eduardo asking team for process feedback. Low urgency; respond if you have a quick note.


Career Action This Week

Respond to Sam S on EP2 TD Review Calibration - 7a2 (Alex) (15 min) Sam left calibration score notes on Jun 8 asking for Alex's response on 2 mismatched criteria. Time-sensitive — respond before or during WWDC async time Thu/Fri.

Skipped: Project Advisor readiness doc (Not started, highest long-term leverage) — WWDC week is not the right slot for a 30-min writing task; defer to Jun 15 when Alex returns. Primary AOR discussion and 1:1 career prep both depend on having a clear 1:1 slot — confirm with Dominik this week whether 1:1 is Jun 9 or Jun 15.


On Radar / Participation Needed

  • EP2 TD Review Calibration - 7a2 (Alex) Sam S commented Jun 8: "Let me know what you think about my rationale for having a lower score" on 2 mismatched calibration criteria — engage (career-relevant, responded within 48h expected).

  • macOS App Maintenance James Frost handed off to next person Jun 8 with a bug in Internal Incoming — monitor whether it lands in Alex's queue.
