## Daily Brief — 2026-06-05
### ✨ Morning
On June 5, 1974, Mikhail Baryshnikov — widely considered the greatest ballet dancer of his era — defected from the Soviet Union mid-tour in Toronto. After a performance he slipped away from his KGB handlers and knocked on the window of a stranger's car in the parking lot, asking for help. He later said it wasn't politics: he just wanted to dance more freely.
🌿 Step outside for 5 minutes before opening Slack.
## Plan for Today
1. ⚡ Desktop Browser Feature Owner Survey — 5 min, 10d overdue, zero blockers
2. ⚡ Approve PR #5270 (disable flaky ErrorPage test) — mallexxx approved, Alex's review is last step
3. 🔴 Merge PR #5149 (Hide Free plan) — CI ✅ review ✅, ready to land
4. 🔴 Fix CI on PR #5246 (Try Visiting a Site Background) — Ship Review (Jun 8) gated on this
5. WWDC handoff brief — due **TODAY**; AFK starts Monday Jun 8
6. Ship Review AOR follow-up — check subtask sign-offs for iOS onboarding (Jun 8 deadline)
7. Quick triages: SIGKILL crash (Jacek ping) + amartemyan task + Address Bar Toggle due date
8. PR review batch (6 requests + Drop macOS 11 Big Sur) — after WWDC brief
9. Weekly review + close iOS onboarding rollout loops
