In a dogfooding session an agent built and tested Beats changes without ever opening a live tab, so nobody in the channel could watch. The desktop section of the system prompt now says people can't see the host's screen, and to open an app's window with tab_live before building, running or checking it, even through a CLI, socket or logs. The split follows relaunches, so once per app.

Not yet confirmed to change behavior: in a dev channel the agent reached for the window's tools after the change, but Desktop Tools hadn't approved that dev build, so tab_live never ran.

Built in Ace

No. Claude Code in a terminal wrote and smoke-tested this in a dev build of Ace during the same dogfooding session. Tracked under #5.
