what did the board ask for?

Daily standup — present: Dana, Priya, Amanda, Sara, Devin. Marcus is out on PTO. Sara: checkout-v2 PR #1284 is up with three follow-up commits; needs one more review pass. Devin: auth-refresh PR #1290 opened; token rotation path is the risky bit. Priya: the Thursday deploy failed twice — first on the migration step, then on the health check. Root cause is still open; I'm writing the RCA. Amanda: Acme gave a verbal yes on the pricing tier yesterday; nothing signed yet. Open question: Mike is picking up the rate-limiter follow-up — need to confirm which Mike before we assign.
PR #1290 — auth refresh: author Devin Nakamura. Reworks the token rotation path; flagged risky pending review.
PR #1284 — checkout-v2: author Sara Lindqvist. Three follow-up commits address cart totals, tax rounding, and an idempotency key on the charge call.
Draft PR (stale) — rate limiter: author Marcus Bell. Opened then left as a draft; no commits since before PTO.
4 records outside Devin's access. The content is never shown, and there is no way to open it.
We set up your company's drive and give each person their own view of it. You bring the documents, we do the rest.
