## Summary

- Ran `scripts/run_frame_watch.sh 2026-07-21 runs /tmp/SteamTracking-shallow-20260720`.
- Bottom line: no public Steam Frame launch-readiness movement.
- Primary launch gates remain closed: Valve app/package APIs, SteamKit/PICS, SteamDB package rows, and Komodo are unchanged for Frame app `4165890` and packages `1629484`, `1629486`.
- Secondary signal: SteamTracking advanced to `a260716ab21092371928054f81823ae0609db0e3` and added broad Steam Machine compatibility localization plus localized Steam Frame wireless-adapter troubleshooting strings.
- `steam_client_publicbeta_linuxarm64` moved to `1784588115`, but `bins_hardware_linuxarm64` did not change.

## Source Checks

### Komodo

- Unblocked for this run.
- Frame product `modified` remains `2026-07-03T15:56:30`.
- Frame sections remain one old `JA - Steam Frame Wishlist` row.
- Frame media remains old `Frame_BG.png`.
- Machine product timestamp remains `2026-07-20T14:27:32`.
- Visual asset counts: `453` discovered, `409` retrieved, `44` blocked.

### SteamDB

- Watched reservation-package table was captured.
- Frame package `1629484`: last record update `16 July 2026 - 03:50:58 UTC`, changenumber `37298233`, still `private_exists_only`.
- Frame package `1629486`: last record update `16 July 2026 - 03:50:44 UTC`, changenumber `37298229`, still `private_exists_only`.
- No new SteamDB package-history movement versus `2026-07-20`.
- Controller app page was challenge-blocked, but that did not block the watched Frame package table.

### SteamTracking / GameTracking

- SteamTracking source advanced from `7fed97457fb2ad2eee35401ea775e962acc56e59` to `a260716ab21092371928054f81823ae0609db0e3` (`2026-07-21T04:10:41Z`).
- The client diff is mostly localization work:
  - broad Steam Machine compatibility strings and filters across many languages
  - localized Steam Frame wireless-adapter troubleshooting and airplane-mode dialog strings across many languages
  - a few `HardwareVariant_SteamFrame_Verified` localization tweaks
- `steam_client_beta_linuxarm64` stayed at `1784323984`.
- `steam_client_publicbeta_linuxarm64` moved from `1784145295` to `1784588115`.
- `bins_hardware_linuxarm64` did not change in beta or publicbeta.

### SteamVR Depots

- SteamDB SteamVR depot metadata page was challenge-blocked.
- Public changelog/local-scan outputs produced no new Frame signal.

### SteamOS Package Mirror

- No material Frame launch signal found.

### Valve Support / CDN

- Frame app `4165890`: public metadata only, `Coming soon`, no packages, no package group, no price.
- Frame packages `1629484` and `1629486`: still private, `packagedetails success:false`.
- SteamKit/PICS showed no follow-up backend movement for the Frame package IDs.

### Customs / Regulatory

- Latest captured relevant shipment rows are still the `2026-07-15` `VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES` rows and the `2026-07-14` `WIRELESS PC CONTROLLER` row.
- Some ImportInfo source searches failed, so customs status is partial. ImportGenius rows were still captured.

## Effect On Key Questions

- Price: unchanged. Steam Frame still has no public price.
- Release date: unchanged. Steam Frame still exposes only `Coming soon`.
- Same-time launch: unchanged and already ruled out. The SteamTracking localization movement is client-readiness context, not public launch/reservation evidence.

## Next Checks

- Re-run Valve appdetails/packagedetails and SteamKit/PICS first on the next pass.
- Watch whether Frame packages `1629484` / `1629486` move from `private_exists_only` / `packagedetails success:false` to visible package details.
- Watch for a follow-up SteamTracking commit that changes Frame compatibility behavior, not just localization.
- Keep watching Komodo Frame for a fresh timestamp, new sections, or new media.
