# Run Note: 2026-05-15

## Summary

- Full skill run completed with artifacts under `/Users/sean/Coding/steam-hardware-watch/runs/2026-05-15`.
- No watched SteamKit/PICS changenumbers moved versus the `2026-05-14` report.
- 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.
- Komodo was recovered through the dedicated browser fallback after the first attempt hit a stale CDP endpoint and raw `curl` hit Cloudflare challenge pages.
- Komodo Controller has a new modified timestamp, but the product JSON diff versus `2026-05-14` is timestamp-only.

## Source Checks

### Komodo

- Dedicated browser fallback recovered Controller, Machine, and Frame product/section data.
- Product modified timestamps:
  - Controller: `2026-05-15T15:50:21`
  - Machine: `2026-04-24T14:32:54`
  - Frame: `2026-04-24T14:33:36`
- Controller JSON diff versus `2026-05-14` is timestamp-only (`modified` / `modified_gmt`).
- Machine and Frame remain unchanged on Komodo and still only expose the old wishlist section 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 `2026-05-14`.
- Current Machine package changenumbers:
  - `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 Machine 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.

### SteamTracking / GameTracking

- 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`.

### Customs / Regulatory

- ImportInfo automated customs fetches were blocked.
- No new customs evidence was added.

## 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, but there was no additional PICS movement today.

## Next Checks

- Continue focused SteamKit/PICS checks for watched package IDs.
- 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`.
- Treat Komodo Controller timestamp movement as low-value unless a future diff shows content, media, stock-state, or section changes.
