# Weekly Plan — Week of 2026-06-08
**Top Priority**: [Ship Review: iOS Address onboarding conflicts with unified input and ship AI onboarding winner](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215009192158961) — 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...](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215009192158961) 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):**
- [#5271 iOS: Animate search experience toggle](https://dub.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo/apple-browsers/pull/5271) — CI ✅, approved ✅ → **merge now**
- [#5149 Hide Free Plan title](https://dub.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo/apple-browsers/pull/5149) — CI ✅, approved ✅ → **merge now**
- [#5246 Try Visiting a Site: Background](https://dub.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo/apple-browsers/pull/5246) — CI 🔴, approved ✅ → investigate CI, then merge
- [#5145 Ship AI onboarding winner](https://dub.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo/apple-browsers/pull/5145) — CI 🔴 (3 checks), ⏳ review pending → critical path for Jun 15 deadline
**Next TP (queued):** [Ship AI onboarding winner (Treatment B) [0.5d]](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215009192158955) — fix CI on #5145 before Jun 15, even async from WWDC.

---
### On Radar
- **TD: [Run E2E tests with internal feature flags (iOS & macOS)](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215318048361450)** — 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](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1213532539230149)** — 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](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215441352155954)** — 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)](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215285052893281)** (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)](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215285052893281)**

- **[macOS App Maintenance](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1215492368428078)**
James Frost handed off to next person Jun 8 with a bug in Internal Incoming — **monitor** whether it lands in Alex's queue.
