Run Note: 2026-05-12

Summary

Fresh run completed under /Users/sean/Coding/steam-hardware-watch/runs/2026-05-12.
Material update: SteamKit/PICS shows all four watched Steam Machine package IDs moved since 2026-05-11.
Manual package-history context makes this more interesting: the Machine packages reportedly changed in an uneven 1 / 3 / 3 / 4 pattern across about three minutes, while the earlier Steam Controller package 1558609 had a 3-change cluster plus one later follow-up roughly two days before public purchase timing appeared.
No equivalent Steam Frame package movement was observed.
Public Valve APIs still show Steam Machine and Steam Frame as Coming soon with no public packages, package groups, prices, or exact dates.
Komodo Controller modified timestamp moved, but the product JSON diff is timestamp-only.

API access worked.
Product modified timestamps: Controller 2026-05-12T09:15:51, Machine 2026-04-24T14:32:54, Frame 2026-04-24T14:33:36.
Controller JSON diff versus 2026-05-11 only changed modified / modified_gmt.
Visual assets: 141 discovered, 141 retrieved, 0 blocked.

Automated fetches remained blocked by challenge pages for watched app/package pages.

Known Triton/Ibex controller pairing surfaces remain present.
No new price, exact availability, or public package readiness signal found in the standard grep pass.

SteamVR news metadata was saved.
SteamDB depot page fetch remained blocked by challenge page; no fresh depot manifest/build comparison collected.

Mirror reachable.
Notable unchanged/default hits include fremont-hw-support 20260506.1-1 in holo-3.8 and holo-main.
No direct Steam Frame, Steam Machine, Deckard, Roy, ARM/Snapdragon, or new product-specific top-level repo signal found in the default pass.

Valve appdetails / packagedetails remain unchanged in public-readiness terms.
Controller app 4165870 remains public with package 1558609, package group, and $99.00.
Controller package-history precedent is now useful as a heuristic only: package 1558609 showed clustered changes before Valve publicly exposed purchase timing, but one precedent is not enough to treat Machine package movement as confirmation.
Frame app 4165890 and Machine app 4165910 remain public app metadata only: Coming soon, no packages, no package groups, no price.
Machine packages 1629446, 1629447, 1629458, 1629460 and Frame packages 1629484, 1629486 still return packagedetails success:false.

Price: unchanged. Steam Controller remains $99.00; Machine and Frame have no public price.
Release date: unchanged. Steam Controller remains May 4, 2026; Machine and Frame still have only broad Coming soon / 2026 timing.
Same-time launch: unchanged. Same-day full-trio launch is ruled out; Machine package movement is backend metadata activity, not public launch readiness. The lack of Frame package movement increases the Machine-first hypothesis, but it remains unconfirmed.

Re-run SteamKit/PICS to see whether Machine package changenumber movement continues.
Watch specifically for a Controller-like follow-up Machine package change after the initial cluster.
Watch Valve appdetails / packagedetails for any Machine package-group, price, purchase, reservation, or timing exposure.
Continue Steam Frame package monitoring; no Frame package movement was observed in this run.
