# Run Note: 2026-05-23

## Summary

- Full skill run completed with artifacts under `/Users/sean/Coding/steam-hardware-watch/runs/2026-05-23`.
- No watched SteamKit/PICS changenumbers moved versus the `2026-05-22` 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 initially blocked on the automated path, then recovered through the dedicated browser fallback. Product timestamps and section baselines are unchanged versus `2026-05-22`.
- SteamTracking was updated to commit `5f58a47` (`2026-05-23T04:32:36Z`). Known Triton/Ibex pairing strings remain present, but no new Machine/Frame launch signal was found.
- Customs remains a partial source: ImportInfo blocked, ImportGenius fetched successfully, and the latest relevant `GAME CONSOLE` rows remain the `2026-05-18` shipments.

## 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`
- No new Machine or Frame sections appeared. Machine and Frame still 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 `2026-05-22`.
- Controller package `1558609` stayed at `35893035`.
- 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 recent package-history movement.

### SteamTracking / GameTracking

- Updated `/tmp/SteamTracking-master` from `28f5287` to `5f58a47`.
- The latest commit summary is `8 files | steam_client_osx, steam_client_ubuntu12, steam_client_win64, steam_cmd_linux, steam_cmd_osx, steam_cmd_win64, steamchina_win64, steamdeck_stable`.
- Known Triton/Ibex pairing surfaces remain present.
- Added focused Steam client manifest monitoring to the normal watcher.
- `steam_client_beta_linuxarm64` is now tracked as a high-signal ARM64/Fremont watch target. Baseline:
  - version `1779139477`
  - `bins_hardware_linuxarm64.zip.cc71be587407299a6125bfa9e889b97bf8df7591`
  - `bins_linuxarm64.zip.37968ebfba6404c03b92ebe8a4c6083bff4b6ff0`
  - `steam_linuxarm64.zip.406e533ed3218787b6d548ecf9e316bca01494ce`
  - `runtime_steamrt_linuxarm64.zip.b41880f37f2c30fe064f21db62a0c7985964fc3c`
- `steam_client_publicbeta_linuxarm64` is tracked beside it for beta-to-publicbeta promotion context. Baseline version is `1779479049`.
- Diff checks did not find a new watched package ID, Machine/Frame price, reservation, or release-date signal.

### 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`.
- The comparison report's Valve endpoint add/remove lines are path/line-number noise from regenerated artifacts; the normalized reservation package API table is unchanged versus `2026-05-22`.

### Customs / Regulatory

- ImportInfo automated customs fetches were blocked.
- ImportGenius fetched successfully and still parsed `10` relevant `GAME CONSOLE` rows for `INGRAM MICRO C/O VALVE CORPORATION` / `TECH-FRONT (CHONGQING) COMPUTER CO`.
- No newer row appeared beyond the two `2026-05-18` shipments:
  - `SNHBSHACHI265020`, `42 PKG`, `14353 Kgs`.
  - `SNHBSHACHI264140`, `42 PKG`, `14533 Kgs`.
- Interpretation: customs remains meaningful logistics corroboration, 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, plus continued May `GAME CONSOLE` logistics corroboration. There was no additional Machine or Frame PICS or public API 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`.
- Keep ImportGenius in the normal customs monitor and treat ImportInfo as best-effort while it blocks.
