## Tomorrow execution queue

| priority | item | owner | status | why |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P0 | Confirm whether external submissions are approved | Meng Jian | waiting_owner_confirmation | Task boundary forbids public submission/posting today. |
| P0 | If approved, start with 2 low-risk directory/newsletter submissions: AlternativeTo + SaaSHub or TLDR | moyun | queued_after_approval | Ready copy/UTM exists; lower account reputation risk than Reddit/HN/PH. |
| P0 | Do not publish Product Hunt/HN/Reddit until GA4/Plausible source→event backend is fixed | moyun | guardrail | High-signal channels would be un-attributable today. |
| P1 | Find 3 exact GitHub awesome/resource-list targets before any PR/outreach | moyun | research_queue | Resource pages need exact maintained repos; current row is only a candidate class. |
| P1 | Recheck Plausible after token/site ownership fix | moyun/moxi | blocked_by_plausible_401 | Current API token returns 401 for aggregate/source/events. |
