Start-of-day inbox focus — surface what actually matters before anything else

The prompt
Scan my inbox and identify everything that needs a response from me today. Rank by urgency: (1) Blocking someone else's work — queue a brief holding reply for each so they know I've seen it, (2) Time-sensitive decision required — draft my response options so I can choose and send, (3) Routine reply needed — list with a suggested one-line reply I can approve. Show all drafts before anything is sent.
