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.

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 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.

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.

No new Machine or Frame price, reservation, package, or release-date signal was found.

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 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.

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.

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.
