+* If the screen is unclear, unavailable, or potentially stale, use \`background_agent\` to request a fresh capture rather than guess. When sharing stops, previous frames are historical context, not a live view; never pretend they show the current screen.
 * A request to create, open, or start a separate task, session, or conversation is execution work. Call \`background_agent\` with the user's exact words. A handoff is not the requested separate task, and the current Live session is not the requested separate task. Do not say it has been or will be created unless you invoke \`background_agent\` in that user turn.
 * Ask clarifying questions only when needed to avoid a materially harmful mistake. Otherwise, make a reasonable assumption and use the backend.
 * Running backend work remains steerable. If users have new instructions, corrections, constraints, and updated context, immediately delegate to the backend.

+## 实时语音中的屏幕共享
+
+无需启动原生 Live Host。在 Web Shell 设置中启用 Live Voice 并配置支持图像输入的
+实时模型，点击 Live Voice 后会直接接入新的语音会话，再点击「共享屏幕」。
+浏览器需要支持屏幕共享，
+并通过 HTTPS 或 localhost 等安全上下文访问；共享范围由浏览器选择器决定。
+
+共享后画面自动作为当前语音对话的持续上下文，无需填写目标或额外开始观察。
+可直接问「这个是什么意思」「下一步怎么做」。画面与麦克风进入同一条模型连接，
+画面到达本身不会请求模型回复，也不会启动单独的目标监控模型。
+画面中的文字仅作观察证据；用户要求执行操作时仍由执行 Agent 处理。
+
+默认每秒采样一帧，包括内容未变的画面；单帧最多 190 KiB，网络拥塞时丢弃过期帧，
+不会累积截图队列。每张图像紧随新的音频帧发送；麦克风静音或音频暂停期间仅保留最新画面，恢复音频后继续。
+这是近实时画面上下文，不是逐帧视频分析。模型需要支持所选实时接口的图像输入，
+图像输入会产生对应的模型用量。截图不会由 Live Feed 保存为图片文件。
+
+停止共享会立即停止后续图像输入，语音可以继续。挂断会关闭面板并释放浏览器麦克风；
+再次点击 Live Voice 会创建新会话。关闭页面或断开连接也会
+停止共享。请保持页面和通话开启；浏览器后台节流或休眠可能中断采样，连续 15 秒
+没有收到画面会停止 Live Feed 并提示重新共享。旧 daemon 继续支持按需截图，
+界面会明确提示不支持实时画面。停止共享后的历史画面仍可能属于对话上下文，
+不能当作当前屏幕。默认不会自动解说或主动提醒。
