Still marked as WIP. Joe did a lot of work in the past month but the description needs update.

Joe will kick a new build for users to test.
Dev review will be done as soon as it's ready.

- Going forward with [#105410 - Sculpt: Add operators to Mask, Face Sets, and Paint menus](https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/105410)? Wait for more resources and design on Paint Mode?
- Yes. Instead of forcing it into sculpt mode we make a proper implementaiton for the Paint mode project.

- This community task needs guidance: [#106243 - Edit Dyntopo Detail Size: Add resolution value for visual feedback](https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/106243)
- Julien will make visual mockup and joe will give some technical poiunters and advice. We'll go for a dynamic text placement around the curseor

- Julien will also communicate tomorrow on shipping the VDM brush creationnaddon in blender for 3.6

- Joe is working on an auto-save feature for inside sculpt mode. Right now it's aprt of the dyntopo refacotr patch.
It's a much more generic issue to address since all of sculpt mode is affected. Including it in the PR is slowing review down.
Joe will spearate into won PR to review separately.

- We should plan for a high level discussion soon on hwo C++ should ne done for sculpt mode. Like use of templates. We should mention this to Hans.
