# Run Note: 2026-07-27

## Summary

- Ran `scripts/run_frame_watch.sh 2026-07-27 runs /tmp/SteamTracking-shallow-20260727` after the first attempt failed on an invalid `/tmp/SteamTracking-shallow-20260720` Git checkout.
- No public Steam Frame launch-readiness movement appeared in the primary gates: Valve app/package APIs, SteamKit/PICS, SteamDB package rows, and Komodo Frame all remain closed/unchanged.
- Secondary client-side movement did appear: SteamTracking is now `2cd20e8c0fd1c95c00634f8d49b8095343bd288d` (`2026-07-24T23:42:25Z`) and normalized Frame-focused comparison versus `2026-07-24` added Steam Frame compatibility/filter strings, `SteamFrameVerified` description/header strings, and `Settings_Controller_Frame_Pairing_*` localization.
- ARM64 beta/publicbeta manifests moved, but `bins_hardware_linuxarm64` did not. Customs has no newer relevant rows beyond the `2026-07-22` VR/dongle shipments already captured.

## Source Checks

### Komodo

- Frame product remains unchanged at `2026-07-03T15:56:30`.
- Controller product timestamp moved to `2026-07-27T15:46:17`; Machine product timestamp moved to `2026-07-27T15:39:56`. Treat both as comparator/background because the active target is Frame.
- Frame still has one section row and one media row; no new Frame sections/assets were exposed.

### SteamDB

- Frame package `1629484`: `16 July 2026 - 03:50:58 UTC`, changenumber `37298233`, `private_exists_only`.
- Frame package `1629486`: `16 July 2026 - 03:50:44 UTC`, changenumber `37298229`, `private_exists_only`.
- SteamDB was not blocked for watched reservation-package rows.

### SteamTracking / GameTracking

- The old shallow checkout had source files but an invalid `.git` directory, so a fresh checkout was cloned to `/tmp/SteamTracking-shallow-20260727`.
- Source is now `2cd20e8c0fd1c95c00634f8d49b8095343bd288d` (`2026-07-24T23:42:25Z`), compared with `8c5870a2e67a2cb36c2d406926ecbb727a34b667` (`2026-07-24T04:04:01Z`) in the previous baseline.
- Normalized Frame-focused diff added compatibility/filter strings including `SteamFrame_CompatibilitySection_*`, `SteamFrameVerified_DescriptionHeader_*`, and `FrameVerified_FilterDescription_*`.
- Normalized diff also added controller-pairing localization including `Settings_Controller_Frame_Pairing_Searching` and `Settings_Controller_Frame_Pairing_TurnOffController`.
- `steam_client_beta_linuxarm64` moved from `1784677696` to `1784785014`.
- `steam_client_publicbeta_linuxarm64` moved from `1784778118` to `1784934043`.
- `bins_hardware_linuxarm64` did not change in beta or publicbeta.

### SteamVR Depots

- SteamVR depot metadata page was challenge-blocked / partially unavailable.
- Local/news metadata did not expose a new Frame launch signal.

### SteamOS Package Mirror

- No material Frame launch signal.
- Existing relevant rows still include `fremont-hw-support 20260506.1-1` and `holo-realtek-firmware-toggles 1.1-1`.

### Valve Support / CDN

- Frame app `4165890`: public metadata only, still `Coming soon`, no packages, no package group, no price.
- Frame package `1629484`: private, `packagedetails success:false`.
- Frame package `1629486`: private, `packagedetails success:false`.
- Machine remains public as the launched comparator: packages `1629447`, `1629458`, `1629446`, `1629460`, package group present, US price starting at `$1,049.00`.

### Customs / Regulatory

- Customs status is partial, but ImportGenius rows were captured.
- No newer relevant rows than `2026-07-22`.
- Newest Frame-relevant logistics rows remain:
  - `SNHBSHACHI267040`: `VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES/FABRIC FOAM RUBBER/WIFI DONGLE/ADAPTER`, `42 PKG`, `7441 Kgs`.
  - `SNHBSHALAX267039`: `VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES & FABRIC FOAM RUBBER & WIFI DONGLE & ADAPTER`, `42 PKG`, `6854 Kgs`.

## Effect On Key Questions

- Price: unchanged. Steam Frame still has no confirmed public price.
- Release date: unchanged. Steam Frame still exposes only `Coming soon`.
- Same-time launch: already ruled out. Steam Controller and Steam Machine are public/launched; Frame remains unpublished for purchase.

## Next Checks

- Continue to prioritize Valve appdetails/packagedetails, SteamKit/PICS changenumbers, SteamDB package status, and Komodo Frame timestamp/sections/media.
- Treat SteamTracking client-string movement as readiness context until it connects to package/API visibility.
- Watch for follow-up SteamTracking commits around Frame compatibility review, Frame controller pairing, and ARM64 `bins_hardware_linuxarm64`.
