Wheel/Spoke 'Issue" DT Swiss GRC1400 SP

I was putting new tires on a gravel wheelset. I've had them for >1 Year. Only owner of the wheels. I notice the front wheel has a spoke that isn't 'straight'. It has a bend in it. I've never noticed it before and the wheel is as true as can be. Neither it or any other spokes are loose.

Is this 'normal' and my observation skills weak? Or, do I have a wheel issue in the works?

Stick? Rock? Something fell into it at the coffee shop? Surly donkey kicked it? Could be nearly anything, and none of those posibilities are worth worrying about. If it breaks in the future replace it. Done.
