Raw Blame History

Run Note: 2026-05-31

Summary

  • Full watcher pass completed under runs/2026-05-31.
  • This is the first baseline after fixing SteamTracking freshness and hardware-signal extraction.
  • No watched SteamKit/PICS app or package changenumber moved versus the previous saved PICS snapshot.
  • Public Valve store/API readiness remains unchanged: Controller public at $99.00; Machine and Frame still Coming soon, with no public package groups, packages, prices, or exact dates.
  • SteamTracking is now current at commit 555d8163c33b92e5a785424069bb7ccc3f180b6d from 2026-05-30T02:25:43Z.
  • SteamTracking hardware signals now surface the previously missed Steam Machine guided-tour strings and Steam Frame wireless-adapter pairing strings.
  • ARM64 Steam client manifest lines changed versus the stale 2026-05-30 local baseline. Treat this as a corrected-source catch-up signal, not proof that those changes happened during this run.
  • Komodo and SteamDB were blocked in this pass, so their comparison removals are fetch artifacts rather than real source removals.

Source Checks

Komodo

  • Blocked: configured Chrome CDP endpoint was not reachable, then Komodo API fetch failed.
  • Existing last-good Komodo baseline remains the 2026-05-30 trusted-browser pass.

SteamKit / PICS

  • Available.
  • No watched app/package changenumber changed.
  • Current Machine package changenumbers remain:
    • 1629446: 35842876
    • 1629447: 35842851
    • 1629458: 35842860
    • 1629460: 35842863
  • Current Frame package changenumbers remain:
    • 1629484: 35672606
    • 1629486: 35672606

SteamDB

  • Blocked/challenge pages for app, package, and SteamVR depot pages.
  • Use the 2026-05-30 trusted-browser SteamDB baseline until refreshed.

SteamTracking / GameTracking

  • Source metadata:
    • before commit: 555d8163c33b92e5a785424069bb7ccc3f180b6d

    • commit time: 2026-05-30T02:25:43Z
    • updated during run: no
  • New hardware signal report captured:
    • GuidedTour_SteamMachine_Welcome_Title
    • GuidedTour_SteamMachine_SendOff_Description
    • GuidedTour_SDCard_Title_SteamMachine
    • SteamFrameWirelessAdapterDialog_*
    • Steam Machine compatibility warning strings
  • ARM64 client manifest current lines:
    • steam_client_beta_linuxarm64: version 1780078251
    • steam_client_publicbeta_linuxarm64: version 1780098236
    • both now point at the same bins_hardware_linuxarm64 file hash da8814f3cc3788fd3789ce233dd86f107b2b244a.

SteamVR Depots

  • SteamDB depot page blocked.
  • SteamVR news metadata saved.

SteamOS Package Mirror

  • Available.
  • fremont-hw-support 20260506.1-1 remains visible in holo-3.8 and holo-main.
  • No new direct Machine/Frame repo namespace appeared.

Valve Support / CDN

  • Available.
  • Controller app 4165870: public, package 1558609, price $99.00.
  • Frame app 4165890: public app metadata, Coming soon, no package group or price.
  • Machine app 4165910: public app metadata, Coming soon, no package group or price.
  • Watched Machine/Frame package IDs still return packagedetails success:false.

Customs / Regulatory

  • Partial: ImportInfo fetches failed, but existing ImportGenius-backed rows were available.
  • Latest relevant GAME CONSOLE rows remain 2026-05-18.
  • No newer shipment row was found in this pass.

Effect On Key Questions

  • Price: no new Machine or Frame price signal.
  • Release date: no new exact Machine or Frame date signal.
  • Same-time launch: still ruled out for the full trio; Controller is already public while Machine and Frame remain not publicly purchasable.
  • Launch-readiness: Steam Machine guided-tour exposure and ARM64 manifest catch-up are useful backend readiness signals, but they do not override the lack of public Valve package/price readiness.

Next Checks

  • Keep SteamTracking source freshness and hardware-signal report in every normal pass.
  • Refresh trusted-browser SteamDB when useful, because today’s SteamDB pass was blocked.
  • Restore/refresh the Komodo trusted browser if Komodo becomes important again.
  • Continue watching SteamKit/PICS package changenumbers and Valve public appdetails / packagedetails.
