why this, now
Four open-ended 'are you ok?' messages have not landed. A binary, zero-effort reply lowers the cost of breaking the silence and gives an explicit, guilt-free exit, which is often what unlocks a reply after two weeks.
David has not written anything in his 1:1 group in the whole 21-day window. Four separate coach outreach attempts (Alexandros on 14 and 17 Aug, Florian on 18 and 24 Aug, Alexandros again on 30 Aug) have gone unanswered, so this is the second full week of no reply. There is nothing to corroborate either way: his Trello card has no GitHub link so commits could not be read, the current exercise is unknown and he has never logged time. At week 17 this looks like disengagement from the mentoring relationship, but the coaching side is the only signal we can actually see.
Edit freely, then copy. pokAI never sends anything — you paste it into WhatsApp yourself.

Normalises the drop-off rather than flagging it as a failure, and offers something concrete in return for a reply. Also fishes for the one fact we are missing - where he actually got to - since Trello shows no exercise and no logged time.
Names the pattern factually with the dates from the transcript and sets a clear, honest boundary rather than a fifth identical nudge. Invents no call or deadline that has been promised - the slot is offered, not assumed.
