## Plan for Today

2. 🔴 Check if Costas has merged the Ship Review PR — if no movement by mid-morning, ping him; confirm [Ship Review](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214147157456478) moves to "Waiting for Release"
3. 🟠 Reply to Alessandro on [Try Visiting a Site: Background](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214828145455342) — he asked about taller background (yesterday 06:02); Alex hasn't responded since May 18 22:31

5. 🟠 Once SR merges → Open Next TP Thread on [iOS Address onboarding conflicts](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214592943696234) announcing as incoming TP
6. 🟡 AOR: triage [PR Check is failing on main](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1213975496167929) — 28 days overdue

### 🔴 Urgent / Overdue
**⚠️ Ship Review: iOS: Demo tracker blocking after chat in onboarding (DRI)**
- [Ship Review](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214147157456478) — due 2026-05-19 (yesterday, 1 day overdue)
- **Status (last night 20:46):** Alex declared "PR is ready to merge to the release branch, Privacy Config updated… will merge when he's up" — referring to Costas. Alessandro approved the Privacy Config PR at 14:16 yesterday ✅.
- **Alex is NOT the current blocker.** Waiting for Costas to merge.
- **Action:** Monitor. If no merge by mid-morning, ping Costas.
Note: [iOS: Demo tracker blocking after chat in onboarding](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1213551050320249) — PR #4584 merged to feature branch (not main/release). Dax flagged it won't auto-move to "Waiting for Release" due to non-standard base branch. Once SR merges to release, revisit this task status.

- Alessandro asked (yesterday 06:02): use a taller background image to fill empty screen (linear-bg-address-bar-preference). Alex last replied May 18 22:31 with a clarifying question — no response from Alex to Alessandro's answer.
- **Action:** Reply confirming scope decision — implement taller background or explicitly scope out with rationale.
**⚠️ PR Check is failing on main**

- **Action:** Triage in AOR block — disable flaky test or confirm fix needed.
**⚠️ Dominik :: Alex 1:1 Agenda (May 5)**
- [Task](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214339792109087) — due 2026-05-05, inbox, **15 days overdue**
- **Action:** Mark complete (meeting long passed).
**⚠️ [ON HOLD] iOS: Introduce a new toggle screen**
- [Task](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1213320237636425) — due 2026-05-15, top_priority, ON HOLD
- Should have been discussed with Dominik at yesterday's 1:1 — check outcome and update task status if confirmed held.
**Backlog cluster (no action today):**
- Bug: Tab preview stuck around (2025-04-15, macOS Browser Bugs)
- Assertion Failure Pixel Anomaly (2025-09-17, planning)
