Standup, October 2, 2026

Today

1. Upload Default Alive TestFlight 0.1 (15) and give it to the Playtest group (SIM-43) → G1 (outside players who start the clock at the seed close). Build 15 makes “Launch now” always launch. On builds 7 and 11, a company whose first customer had left could not launch, so the player never reached the seed close. The build is archived and open in the Organizer. App Store Connect has builds up to 14, so 15 is not uploaded yet. Upload 1.0 (16) in the same pass for the store version.
2. Read the garage funnel: the last event before each outside player left (SIM-47) → G1. On Oct 1, 0 of 7 players who arrived after 10:20 EDT started the clock. The read names the step that loses the most players, by build. It is a reading, not a grade.

Pet Med Reminder has no task: 1.12.0 is in the review queue, and its launch day waits on Apple. Show Notes and Paroletta start nothing new this cycle. Their next read is the Oct 5 review.

Canaries

Clear.

• Pet Med Reminder 1.12.0: WAITING_FOR_REVIEW, 5.3 days (submitted Sept 27). Inside the 5 to 9 day budget.
• Default Alive 1.0: PREPARE_FOR_SUBMISSION, build 1.0 (8) attached Oct 1. The App Store submission is not cycle work.
• App Store agreements: active to Oct 23, 21 days away.
• Uploaded and not submitted for more than seven days: clear.

Since yesterday

• Sim Startup’s public name is Default Alive.
• The Cycle 2 weekly review is answered (in the Sept 28 standup), with Sim Startup in it. Its first change for Sim Startup is to ship the launch-card fix to testers. That change became today’s task 1.
• Builds 0.1 (11) and 0.1 (13) went to testers on Oct 1 with the first launch-card fix (SIM-43) and the garage’s full mail list (SIM-46). A tester who updated an old save still could not launch. The cause was found that night and fixed in build 15.
• Two testers say the garage is hard to follow, and a third ran short of cash. That is why the funnel read is task 2.
• The three Show Notes founder-welcome notes went out (SN-51, closed).
