Run Note: 2026-05-02

Summary

Full watch run completed with artifacts in /Users/sean/Coding/steam-hardware-watch/runs/2026-05-02.
No new price or exact release-date signal was found for Steam Machine or Steam Frame.
Steam Controller remains the only product with confirmed official price and exact purchase timing: $99.00, package 1558609, purchase availability May 4, 2026 at 10AM Pacific.
The May 2 comparison report is noisy because the May 1 artifact folder did not include the full Komodo/SteamTracking/asset coverage from the normal wrapper. Treat older Komodo sections listed as "added" as coverage deltas, not newly published sections.

Komodo API access worked.

Controller remains purchasable and outofstock, without product_tag-wishlist-only.
Machine and Frame remain unchanged from 2026-04-24, still outofstock and product_tag-wishlist-only, with no purchasable class.

Automated SteamDB helper remains blocked by challenge pages for the controller app, app history, unboxing app, and unboxing package.
No fresh SteamDB metadata should be inferred from this run.

Pairing and controller ecosystem strings remain present in /tmp/SteamTracking-master.

No material semantic delta was identified.

Official Valve pages and APIs were reachable.
Appdetails and packagedetails still confirm Steam Controller at $99.00, package 1558609, release date May 4, 2026.
The controller store page still contains the Available for purchase May 4th, 10AM Pacific callout.

No comparable Machine or Frame price, purchase package, or exact timing surfaced.

Release date: unchanged. Controller purchase availability remains May 4, 2026 at 10AM Pacific; Machine and Frame remain broad 2026.
Same-time launch: unchanged. Current evidence still favors a Controller-first launch.

Watch Machine and Frame Komodo records for removal of product_tag-wishlist-only or addition of purchasable.
Recheck official Valve APIs and /hardware/... pages for Machine/Frame price or package exposure.
Use browser-style SteamDB access if SteamDB state is needed before the May 4 controller sale window.
