+## Week 9 2026 (Mon Feb 23 - Fri Feb 27, 2026)
+
+### Highlights
+- **Status integration near the finish line:** All three status-go PRs (#7312, #7332, #7201) consolidated into a [backup draft PR](https://github.com/status-im/status-go/pull/7344), rebased on `develop` and ready to merge once infra executes.
+- **New block exchange protocol** work progressed with decoupled manifest fetching, multi-download per CID, and manifest versioning groundwork.
+- **Anonymous storage approaches drafted:** Initial designs completed for both [anonymous download](https://hackmd.io/@codex-storage/rkCIGuuw-g) and [anonymous publishing](https://hackmd.io/@codex-storage/Hyy8v2nrZg) using the mix protocol.
+
+### [Status Integration](https://github.com/logos-storage/logos-storage-nim/milestone/11)
+- **achieved:**
+    - responding to the review comments final fixes and getting approvals on [status-go/pull/7312](https://github.com/status-im/status-go/pull/7312) and [status-go/pull/7332](https://github.com/status-im/status-go/pull/7332). Waiting for the "infra" team "execute" the merge.
+    - local execution of the final merge of [status-go/pull/7201](https://github.com/status-im/status-go/pull/7201)
+    - then on top of that:
+        - added more elegant and consistent separation between `torrent` and `logosstorage` builds so that it is easier to selectively include them in the build
+        - improved life-cycle management of `ArchiveManager`,
+        - fixing history archive integration tests,
+        - better, lighter linting so that libstorage is not required just for the linting target
+        - responding to the reviews on the original pre-merge #7201.
+        - created a "backup" draft PR [status-go/pull/7344](https://github.com/status-im/status-go/pull/7344), where all three PRs - #7312, #7332, and #7201 - are all combined and rebased on top of the current `develop` so that the final solution can be evaluated while wating for the "infra" team to merge #7312, #7332. 
+- **next:**
+    - waiting for the "infra" team to merge "#7312", and "#7332",
+    - rebase the original "#7201": we already have the rebase prepared, so maybe besides responding to some extra review comments, we are ready to merge the final integration.
