Mickael

Yesterday: review/merge/backport of 0.12.0 PRs, there is an issue with ci for all PRs targeting release/0.12.0 branch (investigating and opened https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/issues/4144)

Today: learning time

Blockers:

• CI Failures on PRs to 0.12.0 branch, debugged and fix is pushed but need review (https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/pull/4145)

Deeplow

Yesterday:

• found cause of bug https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-client/issues/144
• worked a bit on a solution

Today:

• small success on making an effective and simple solution

Blockers:

• detecting new messages might need some restucturing of the code. In the structure it seems I ended up producing some convoluted code to reach what was supposed to be simple
