# Run Note: 2026-05-22

## Summary

- Full skill run completed with artifacts under `/Users/sean/Coding/steam-hardware-watch/runs/2026-05-22`.
- No watched SteamKit/PICS changenumbers moved versus the `2026-05-19` report.
- No Steam Machine or Steam Frame public-readiness movement was found.
- Valve public APIs still do not expose Steam Machine or Steam Frame package groups, public package details, price, exact release timing, or purchase/reservation readiness.
- Customs coverage was corrected after the initial summary missed ImportGenius. ImportInfo remained blocked, but ImportGenius produced `10` relevant `GAME CONSOLE` shipment rows through `2026-05-18`.
- Komodo recovered after the `2026-05-19` waiting-room block. The compare report lists Komodo sections as "added" because the previous run was blocked; these are restored baseline rows, not newly published sections.
- The temporary SteamTracking checkout was corrupt/partial and produced an empty first report. It was replaced with a fresh checkout and the SteamTracking report was regenerated.

## Source Checks

### Komodo

- Dedicated browser fallback recovered Controller, Machine, and Frame product/section data.
- Product modified timestamps:
  - Controller: `2026-05-22T15:28:27`
  - Machine: `2026-04-24T14:32:54`
  - Frame: `2026-04-24T14:33:36`
- Controller JSON diff versus `2026-05-18` is timestamp-only (`modified` / `modified_gmt`).
- Machine and Frame product JSON and section reports are unchanged versus the last good Komodo baseline.
- Visual assets: `141` discovered, `136` retrieved, `5` blocked known Komodo URLs.

### SteamKit / PICS

- SteamKit/PICS completed successfully.
- No watched app or package changenumbers moved versus `2026-05-19`.
- Controller package `1558609` stayed at `35893035` after the `2026-05-17` private metadata change.
- Machine packages stayed unchanged:
  - `1629446`: `35842876`
  - `1629447`: `35842851`
  - `1629458`: `35842860`
  - `1629460`: `35842863`
- Frame packages stayed unchanged:
  - `1629484`: `35672606`
  - `1629486`: `35672606`
- Interpretation: today's run does not add a new Controller, Machine, or Frame PICS signal. The latest material Machine signal remains the `2026-05-14` follow-up bump across all four watched Machine package IDs.

### SteamDB

- Automated SteamDB access remained blocked.
- Reservation package rows remain `missing_or_blocked`, so SteamDB is still not a human-readable corroborating baseline for the recent Machine package movement or the `2026-05-17` Controller package change.

### SteamTracking / GameTracking

- Replaced a corrupt/partial `/tmp/SteamTracking-master` checkout with a fresh clone.
- Current checkout: `28f5287` (`2026-05-22T04:56:58Z`).
- Known Triton/Ibex pairing surfaces remain present.
- No new Machine or Frame price, reservation, package, or release-date signal was found.

### SteamVR Depots

- SteamVR news metadata was saved.
- SteamDB SteamVR depot metadata remained blocked.
- No fresh depot manifest/build comparison was collected.

### SteamOS Package Mirror

- Public mirror remained reachable.
- `fremont-hw-support 20260506.1-1` remains visible in `holo-3.8` and `holo-main`.
- No direct Steam Machine, Steam Frame, Deckard, Roy, ARM/Snapdragon, or new product-specific namespace surfaced in this pass.

### Valve Support / CDN

- Valve public endpoints were reachable.
- Controller remains public with package `1558609`, package group present, and `$99.00`.
- Frame app `4165890` remains `Coming soon`, with no public packages, no package groups, and no price.
- Machine app `4165910` remains `Coming soon`, with no public packages, no package groups, and no price.
- Machine packages `1629446`, `1629447`, `1629458`, `1629460` still return `packagedetails success:false`.
- Frame packages `1629484`, `1629486` still return `packagedetails success:false`.
- Public Valve `appdetails` and `packagedetails` JSON still do not expose the `2026-05-17` Controller private PICS package change.

### Customs / Regulatory

- ImportInfo automated customs fetches were blocked.
- ImportGenius fetched successfully after the customs helper was updated to treat it as a first-class automated customs source.
- Parsed `10` relevant `GAME CONSOLE` rows for `INGRAM MICRO C/O VALVE CORPORATION` / `TECH-FRONT (CHONGQING) COMPUTER CO`.
- Newer rows since the previous April 23 baseline:
  - `2026-05-18`, BOL `SNHBSHACHI265020`, `42 PKG`, `14353 Kgs`.
  - `2026-05-18`, BOL `SNHBSHACHI264140`, `42 PKG`, `14533 Kgs`.
  - `2026-05-08`, BOL `SNHBSHACHI264031`, `42 PKG`, `12615 Kgs`.
- Interpretation: this is a material logistics corroboration signal for continued US-bound game-console hardware flow to Valve's Ingram path, but it does not identify whether the goods are Steam Machine, Steam Frame, or another Valve hardware SKU.

## Effect On Key Questions

- Price: unchanged. Only Steam Controller has a confirmed price.
- Release date: unchanged. Only Steam Controller has a confirmed exact date.
- Same-time launch: unchanged. Full same-day launch remains ruled out.
- Product furthest along: Steam Controller is already public/purchasable. Among unreleased hardware, Steam Machine still has the strongest recent backend-prep signal because of the `2026-05-12` and `2026-05-14` package movement, now with continued May `GAME CONSOLE` logistics corroboration. There was no additional Machine or Frame PICS movement today.

## Next Checks

- Continue focused SteamKit/PICS checks for watched package IDs.
- Watch whether Controller package `1558609` gets public stock/reservation behavior changes after the `2026-05-17` removal of `ignorereservationifstockavailable=1`.
- Watch Valve public `appdetails` / `packagedetails` for Machine package exposure, package groups, price, reservation text, or purchase eligibility.
- Complete a trusted-browser SteamDB package-history pass for Machine packages `1629446`, `1629447`, `1629458`, and `1629460`.
