Run Note: 2026-05-26

Summary

Full watcher pass completed after restoring the temporary SteamTracking checkout, rerunning with the Homebrew dotnet / Python path, and restoring the dedicated Chrome browser fallbacks for Komodo and SteamDB.
No watched SteamKit/PICS app or package changenumbers moved.
Valve public APIs still show Steam Controller public at $99.00; Steam Machine and Steam Frame remain Coming soon with no public packages, package groups, price, or exact timing.
ARM64 Steam client manifest focus lines are unchanged versus the previous run.
Customs still shows 10 relevant ImportGenius GAME CONSOLE rows, newest arrivals 2026-05-18; no newer shipment row appeared.
Komodo and SteamDB were successfully retrieved through the dedicated Chrome fallbacks. SteamVR depot pages remained blocked by SteamDB challenge pages.

Automated Komodo JSON fetch was initially blocked, then succeeded through the dedicated Chrome fallback after fixing the fallback gate.
Product modified timestamps:
- Controller: 2026-05-25T12:14:52
- Machine: 2026-04-24T14:32:54
- Frame: 2026-04-24T14:33:36
The Controller timestamp moved, but no matching SteamKit/PICS or Valve API launch-readiness movement appeared in this pass.
Visual asset fallback discovered 141 candidates, retrieved 136, and left 5 known Komodo assets blocked.

Automated SteamDB fetches initially looked blocked because the challenge detector falsely treated normal SteamDB pages containing generic Cloudflare text as challenge pages.
After narrowing the challenge detector, the dedicated Chrome fallback saved the app and package pages.
