Each call runs through the viewing account's own connections, and viewers approve access before the page's first connector call. This week also adds public sharing links, editor roles for shared editing on Team and Enterprise plans, and artifacts created from Claude Tag sessions.

Turn it on per session with a flag, per shell with the `CLAUDE_AX_SCREEN_READER` environment variable, or everywhere with the `axScreenReader` setting.
