## Source Checks
### Komodo

### SteamTracking / GameTracking

### SteamOS Package Mirror
- Mirror was reachable.
- `fremont-hw-support 20260506.1-1` remains present in `holo-3.8` and `holo-main`.
- No new product-specific repo namespace or direct Frame/Machine/Deckard/Roy signal appeared.
### Valve Support / CDN
- Valve APIs were reachable.
- Controller app `4165870` remains public with package `1558609`, package group present, and US price `$99.00`.
- Frame app `4165890` remains public app metadata only: `Coming soon`, no packages, no package groups, no price.

### Customs / Regulatory
- ImportInfo searches failed, but ImportGenius importer data parsed.
- Relevant shipment count remains `10`.
- Newest rows remain two `2026-05-18` `GAME CONSOLE` shipments to `INGRAM MICRO C/O VALVE CORPORATION` from `TECH-FRONT (CHONGQING) COMPUTER CO`, both `42 PKG`, weights `14353 Kgs` and `14533 Kgs`.
- No newer customs row appeared today.
## Effect On Key Questions
- Price: unchanged. Controller is confirmed at `$99.00`; Machine and Frame remain unpriced.
- Release date: unchanged. Machine and Frame still expose only broad `Coming soon` / `2026` timing.
- Same-time launch: unchanged. Controller is already public/purchasable; Machine and Frame still lack public package readiness.
## Next Checks
- Continue higher-frequency SteamKit/PICS checks for Machine and Frame package movement.
- Watch Valve `appdetails` / `packagedetails` for Machine and Frame package-group, price, reservation, or purchase-state exposure.
- Watch Komodo for any follow-up change from catalog category organization into purchase state, stock state, visible copy, section/media changes, or regional store readiness.
- Keep customs checks in the normal watcher, but treat them as corroborating logistics evidence only.
