A screenshot URL is a private signed link. It works for at least seven days, or for at least an hour when the task could sign in to a site: tasks that run in agent mode, which may create an account when what you ask for needs one, and tasks whose `input` or `instruction` carries a password, a one-time code, a token or a key. Screenshots of those tasks are stored apart, with no public address. Fetch the run again for fresh links, and download any image you need to keep.
