# Run Note: 2026-06-24

## Summary

- Focused Steam Frame check completed after Steam Machine launch.
- No public Steam Frame readiness change appeared:
  - Valve API: app `4165890` still `Coming soon`, no packages, no package groups, no price.
  - Valve package API: watched Frame packages `1629484` and `1629486` still `packagedetails success:false`.
  - SteamKit/PICS: Frame app `4165890` unchanged at `35675573`; Frame packages `1629484` and `1629486` unchanged at `35672606`.
  - SteamDB: Frame packages remain private/existence-only with last record update `5 May 2026 - 18:50:54 UTC`.
- Komodo Frame is unchanged: product modified timestamp remains `2026-05-27T16:53:46`, only the old wishlist section/media are exposed, and no new Frame sections/media appeared.
- SteamTracking updated to commit `5d3d8b2c150f1688f6e5a4ce0c1c6ace8e4285e6` (`2026-06-24T03:19:32Z`). Frame pairing/compatibility strings remain present, but the reported deltas look like line-number/localization churn rather than a new launch-readiness signal.
- Customs shipment report is available with `39` relevant rows, but no newer high-signal rows appeared; newest VR-labelled rows remain `2026-06-17`.
- Steam Machine continued to move post-launch in SteamKit/PICS and Komodo, but that is not a Frame launch signal.

## Source Checks

### Komodo

- Reachable.
- Product modified timestamps:
  - Controller: `2026-06-23T15:54:29`
  - Machine: `2026-06-24T16:12:21`
  - Frame: `2026-05-27T16:53:46`
- Frame sections:
  - `413804`, `413801`, `JA - Steam Frame Wishlist`, modified `2025-11-12T14:09:51`
- Frame media:
  - `Frame_BG.png`, modified `2025-11-11T15:25:52`
- No new Steam Frame section/media staging appeared.

### SteamDB

- Challenge-prone overall, but package table was collected.
- Frame package rows:
  - `1629484`: last record update `5 May 2026 - 18:50:54 UTC`, changenumber `35672606`, possible app `4165890:Steam Frame`, status `private_exists_only`.
  - `1629486`: last record update `5 May 2026 - 18:50:54 UTC`, changenumber `35672606`, possible app `4165890:Steam Frame`, status `private_exists_only`.
- No new SteamDB Frame package-history movement.

### SteamTracking / GameTracking

- Source moved from `d8c88a286f382752aa90b7dd5a9aa057db78a077` (`2026-06-19T23:33:59Z`) to `5d3d8b2c150f1688f6e5a4ce0c1c6ace8e4285e6` (`2026-06-24T03:19:32Z`).
- Frame strings remain present around:
  - `WelcomeToSteamFrame`
  - `skip_steamframe_pairing_dialog`
  - `controller_steamframe_pair`
  - `SteamFrameWirelessAdapterDialog_*`
  - `Settings_RemotePlay_WifiAPSection`
  - `Settings_Internet_Limit_Connection_Lower_Bands`
  - `steamFrameVerifiedApps`
  - `LibraryTab_FrameVerified`
  - `k_EAppTestType_SteamFrameCompatibilityReview`
- Comparison output includes Frame lines, but they appear to be line-number/localization churn rather than new product/package/date/price exposure.
- ARM64 public beta manifest moved to `1782257239`, but `bins_hardware_linuxarm64` did not change. The dedicated beta manifest stayed unchanged at `1781223733`.

### SteamVR Depots

- SteamDB SteamVR depot page remained blocked/challenged.
- Public SteamVR news metadata still has latest item `Introducing SteamVR 2.16` from `2026-06-02T18:59:37Z`.
- No fresh Frame-specific SteamVR depot signal was collected.

### SteamOS Package Mirror

- Reachable.
- Frame-related/default hits remain indirect only:
  - `holo-3.8 fremont-hw-support 20260506.1-1`
  - `holo-main fremont-hw-support 20260506.1-1`
  - `holo-main holo-realtek-firmware-toggles 1.1-1`
- No direct `Steam Frame`, `Deckard`, `Roy`, Snapdragon, or new product-specific namespace appeared.

### Valve Support / CDN

- Public Valve APIs unchanged for Frame:
  - App `4165890`: public metadata, `Coming soon`, no packages, no package groups, no price.
  - Package `1629484`: `packagedetails success:false`.
  - Package `1629486`: `packagedetails success:false`.
- Steam Machine remains public with package group and prices; Machine package movement should be treated as post-launch Machine churn, not a Frame signal.

### Customs / Regulatory

- Customs shipment report available.
- Relevant shipment count: `39`.
- No newer high-signal rows appeared versus the prior run.
- Newest captured Frame-relevant logistics rows remain the `2026-06-17` `VIRTUAL REALITY DEVICES` rows:
  - `SNHBSHACHI265224`, `42 PKG`, `6464 Kgs`
  - `SNHBSHALAX265223`, `42 PKG`, `6467 Kgs`
  - `SNHBSHACHI265216`, `42 PKG`, `6406 Kgs`
- These remain logistics corroboration only and do not prove Frame launch timing.

## Effect On Key Questions

- Price: no public Steam Frame price.
- Release date: no public Steam Frame date; still `Coming soon`.
- Same-time launch: no. Steam Machine launched publicly; Steam Frame remains private/no package group.

## Next Checks

- Continue watching SteamKit/PICS for any movement on Frame app `4165890` and packages `1629484` / `1629486`.
- Watch Valve `appdetails` / `packagedetails` for package, package group, price, or purchase-state exposure.
- Watch Komodo for new Frame sections/media analogous to the Machine staging sequence.
- Treat SteamTracking Frame strings as useful readiness context, but require package/API movement before calling it a launch signal.
