# Run Note: 2026-05-26

## Summary

- Full watcher pass completed after restoring the temporary SteamTracking checkout, rerunning with the Homebrew `dotnet` / Python path, and restoring the dedicated Chrome browser fallbacks for Komodo and SteamDB.
- No watched SteamKit/PICS app or package changenumbers moved.
- Valve public APIs still show Steam Controller public at `$99.00`; Steam Machine and Steam Frame remain `Coming soon` with no public packages, package groups, price, or exact timing.
- ARM64 Steam client manifest focus lines are unchanged versus the previous run.
- Customs still shows `10` relevant ImportGenius `GAME CONSOLE` rows, newest arrivals `2026-05-18`; no newer shipment row appeared.
- Komodo and SteamDB were successfully retrieved through the dedicated Chrome fallbacks. SteamVR depot pages remained blocked by SteamDB challenge pages.

## Source Checks

### Komodo

- Automated Komodo JSON fetch was initially blocked, then succeeded through the dedicated Chrome fallback after fixing the fallback gate.
- Product modified timestamps:
  - Controller: `2026-05-25T12:14:52`
  - Machine: `2026-04-24T14:32:54`
  - Frame: `2026-04-24T14:33:36`
- The Controller timestamp moved, but no matching SteamKit/PICS or Valve API launch-readiness movement appeared in this pass.
- Visual asset fallback discovered `141` candidates, retrieved `136`, and left `5` known Komodo assets blocked.

### SteamDB

- Automated SteamDB fetches initially looked blocked because the challenge detector falsely treated normal SteamDB pages containing generic Cloudflare text as challenge pages.
- After narrowing the challenge detector, the dedicated Chrome fallback saved the app and package pages.
- SteamDB package-page baseline:
  - Controller package `1558609`: last record update `15 May 2026 - 16:07:19 UTC`, changenumber `35893035`, details available.
  - Machine packages `1629446`, `1629447`, `1629458`, `1629460`: last record updates clustered on `13 May 2026`, changenumbers `35842876`, `35842851`, `35842860`, `35842863`; private/existence-only.
  - Frame packages `1629484`, `1629486`: last record update `5 May 2026 - 18:50:54 UTC`, changenumber `35672606`; private/existence-only.

### SteamTracking / GameTracking

- SteamTracking checkout was restored at commit `5f58a47e5` (`2026-05-23T04:32:36Z`).
- `steam_client_beta_linuxarm64` remains version `1779139477`; watched ARM64 hardware/runtime blocks unchanged.
- `steam_client_publicbeta_linuxarm64` remains version `1779479049`; watched ARM64 hardware/runtime blocks unchanged.
- Known SteamInput/Triton/Ibex pairing strings remain present, but no new product or reservation string appeared.

### SteamVR Depots

- SteamDB SteamVR depot metadata page was blocked.
- Saved public SteamVR news/key-line context only; no new depot/build readiness signal was captured.

### SteamOS Package Mirror

- Mirror was reachable.
- `fremont-hw-support 20260506.1-1` remains present in `holo-3.8` and `holo-main`.
- No new product-specific repo namespace or direct Frame/Machine/Deckard/Roy signal appeared.

### Valve Support / CDN

- Valve APIs were reachable.
- Controller app `4165870` remains public with package `1558609`, package group present, and US price `$99.00`.
- Frame app `4165890` remains public app metadata only: `Coming soon`, no packages, no package groups, no price.
- Machine app `4165910` remains public app metadata only: `Coming soon`, no packages, no package groups, no price.
- Machine packages `1629446`, `1629447`, `1629458`, `1629460` and Frame packages `1629484`, `1629486` still return `packagedetails success:false`.

### Customs / Regulatory

- ImportInfo searches failed, but ImportGenius importer data parsed.
- Relevant shipment count remains `10`.
- Newest rows remain two `2026-05-18` `GAME CONSOLE` shipments to `INGRAM MICRO C/O VALVE CORPORATION` from `TECH-FRONT (CHONGQING) COMPUTER CO`, both `42 PKG`, weights `14353 Kgs` and `14533 Kgs`.
- No newer customs row appeared today.

## Effect On Key Questions

- Price: unchanged. Controller is confirmed at `$99.00`; Machine and Frame remain unpriced.
- Release date: unchanged. Machine and Frame still expose only broad `Coming soon` / `2026` timing.
- Same-time launch: unchanged. Controller is already public/purchasable; Machine and Frame still lack public package readiness.

## Next Checks

- Continue higher-frequency SteamKit/PICS checks for Machine and Frame package movement.
- Watch Valve `appdetails` / `packagedetails` for Machine and Frame package-group, price, reservation, or purchase-state exposure.
- Capture a trusted-browser SteamDB package-page baseline when practical.
- Keep customs checks in the normal watcher, but treat them as corroborating logistics evidence only.
