# Run Note: 2026-07-03
## Summary
- Steam Frame has meaningful Komodo site-prep movement, but no public Steam package/store readiness yet.
- Later same-day recheck confirmed the launch gates still have not flipped.
- Komodo Frame product `modified` moved to `2026-07-03T15:56:30`; unlike the prior timestamp-only update, this changed product fields: `featured_media` moved from `413708` to `456489`, the excerpt removed the inline `frameLogo.svg`, and the new featured media is `source_SF_headsetControllers_front_2.jpg` dated/modified `2026-07-03T15:54:53`.
- Valve, SteamKit/PICS, and SteamDB still show Frame app `4165890` as public `Coming soon` only, with packages `1629484` and `1629486` still private / existence-only.
- Fresh shipment rows appeared for `2026-07-01`: one `VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES` row and two `GAME CONSOLE` rows from `TECH-FRONT (CHONGQING) COMPUTER CO` to `CEVA C/O VALVE CORPORATION`.
## Source Checks
### Komodo
- Unblocked.
- Product timestamps:
- Controller: `2026-07-03T15:38:38`
- Machine: `2026-07-02T15:16:57`
- Frame: `2026-07-03T15:56:30`
- Frame product diff versus `2026-07-01`:
- `featured_media`: `413708` -> `456489`
- featured media endpoint: `https://komodostation.com/wp-json/wp/v2/media/456489`
- fetched via trusted browser: `source_SF_headsetControllers_front_2.jpg`, `image/jpeg`, dated/modified `2026-07-03T15:54:53`
- excerpt removed the inline `frameLogo.svg` image; text/list content stayed the same.
- Frame sections and section media did not change: still one old wishlist section and old `Frame_BG.png`.
### SteamDB
- Usable for watched packages on the later same-day recheck.
- Frame packages:
- `1629484`: `private_exists_only`, changenumber `35672606`, last record update `5 May 2026 - 18:50:54 UTC`
- `1629486`: `private_exists_only`, changenumber `35672606`, last record update `5 May 2026 - 18:50:54 UTC`
- No SteamDB package-page movement for Frame.
### SteamTracking / GameTracking
- Source updated to commit `17c15d162dbb19ea40d0ae757401323edfe2fec8` (`2026-07-02T22:21:06Z`).
- Existing Frame setup/pairing/compatibility strings remain present, including `WelcomeToSteamFrame`, `controller_steamframe_pair`, `SteamFrameWirelessAdapterDialog_*`, `steamFrameVerifiedApps`, and `LibraryTab_FrameVerified`.
- `steam_client_beta_linuxarm64` did not move: version `1782442097`.
- `steam_client_publicbeta_linuxarm64` moved from `1782437068` to `1783028805`; `bins_linuxarm64`, `steam_linuxarm64`, and `runtime_steamrt_linuxarm64` changed.
- `bins_hardware_linuxarm64` did not change, so this is background ARM64 client movement rather than direct hardware readiness.
### SteamVR Depots
- SteamDB depot metadata was blocked by a challenge page.
- Public SteamVR news metadata did not produce a new Frame-specific signal.
### SteamOS Package Mirror
- No direct Frame launch signal.
- Relevant package names still include `fremont-hw-support`, `holo-realtek-firmware-toggles`, `foxnet`, and related firmware packages.
### Valve Support / CDN
- Frame app `4165890`: public metadata only, `Coming soon`, no price, no packages, no package groups.
- Frame packages:
- `1629484`: private, `packagedetails success:false`
- `1629486`: private, `packagedetails success:false`
- SteamKit/PICS:
- Frame app `4165890`: changenumber `35675573`, unchanged
- Frame packages `1629484` and `1629486`: changenumber `35672606`, unchanged
### Customs / Regulatory
- Partial source coverage: several ImportInfo searches failed, but the local report captured relevant rows.
- Newest rows include:
- `2026-07-01`, `VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES`, `42 PKG`, `6433 Kgs`, BOL `SNHBSHACHI266113`
- `2026-07-01`, `GAME CONSOLE`, `42 PKG`, `12541 Kgs`, BOL `SNHBSHALAX266103`
- `2026-07-01`, `GAME CONSOLE`, `42 PKG`, `12681 Kgs`, BOL `SNHBSHACHI266076`
- Treat as logistics corroboration only.
## Effect On Key Questions
- Price: still unconfirmed for Steam Frame.
- Release date: still unconfirmed for Steam Frame; Valve remains `Coming soon`.
- Same-time launch: already ruled out; Frame remains separate from the now-public Controller/Machine state.
## Next Checks
- Recheck SteamKit/PICS and Valve `appdetails` / `packagedetails` first.
- Watch whether Komodo follows the featured-media/product change with new Frame sections, public product tags, videos, manuals, or support sections.
- Keep monitoring VR-labelled shipment rows as corroboration.
- Treat ARM64 publicbeta movement as background unless `bins_hardware_linuxarm64` changes or new Frame strings appear.
