It’s just a colour edit from the 9-minute Xinhua video

I see no crews
I really like this video. Shows clear speed difference from Fujian vs Shandong for the J-15.
In their stream today, the trio/Yankee mentioned that there was a ceremony in July. The ship wasn't commissioned, but rather the ownership of Fujian was transferred from CSSC to the PLAN.
Sounds like an unofficial commissioning of sorts.
The point about steam is something I haven’t thought about. That said, don’t they use distilled water for the steam cats? That shouldn’t be as corrosive as salt water.
