Daily Brief — 2026-06-01
✨ Morning
On June 1, 1869, Thomas Edison received his very first patent — for an electric vote-recording machine. Politicians hated it (they wanted hand-counts slow enough for backroom bargaining), so it never sold. Even Edison shipped a PR with no reviewers willing to merge. 💧 Start with a glass of water.
Plan for Today
- ⚡ Hide Free plan • Upgrade (#5149) — PR approved; ping Alessandro "ready for another look" and merge. ~10 min, easy win.
- 🔴 Ship AI onboarding winner (#5145) — fix the failing CI job, get it green, merge.
- 🔴 Hide "stop chat" button (#5173) — CI ✅, review ✅; land it.
- 🔴 Persist 'You've got this' dialogue [2d] — due today, biggest unstarted TP-cluster item; start now and protect Mon/Tue for it.
- 🟠 PR: macOS Monterrey-only — 5d overdue, on Diego's Monterey+ Jun-15 critical path; push to merge this week.
- 🟠 O-L Weekly Meeting (recurring, today).
- 🟠 PR review batch — 6 review-requests + 5 mentions queued; single ~30-min block.
- 🟡 Set today's 1-Must in Asana (Monday ritual; no active "1 Must" task in inbox).
Today's focus per weekly plan: ramp + ship the 0.5d's of the TP cluster. New signals since the plan was written: CI-fixing task
1215264800186724was completed overnight by Sam S (one less AOR thing in your way), and Alessandro's "ready for another look" ping on #5149 is on GitHub, not Asana — so it doesn't appear in story threads.
