Run Note: 2026-06-05

Summary

  • Full watch pass completed after repairing the missing /tmp/SteamTracking-master checkout.
  • No watched SteamKit/PICS app or package changenumbers moved.
  • No Valve public API readiness change for Steam Machine or Steam Frame.
  • Material background movement: SteamTracking advanced to a 2026-06-05 snapshot, ARM64 Steam client manifests moved, SteamVR 2.16 appeared in news metadata, and SteamOS Jupiter firmware packages moved to jupiter.20260604.1-1.
  • Correction after review: the original summary under-called Steam Frame and Steam Machine client-beta signals. The raw hardware report contained the relevant lines, but they were buried in a huge broad scan. Dedicated Frame and Machine signal reports now surface them before the generic hardware report.

Next Checks

  • Continue high-frequency SteamKit/PICS checks on watched Machine and Frame packages.
  • Keep SteamTracking client-manifest diffs in focus, especially ARM64 hardware/runtime blocks.
  • Manually clear or replace the SteamDB SteamVR depot-page source if depot manifest comparisons become important.
