Feature request: surface canvases in automation output. I have automations that generate interactive HTML dashboards and call open\_canvas to display them. The automation runs, the HTML gets built, the open\_canvas call fires but when the automation finishes, I only see text. The canvas artifact exists if I go looking for it, but it's not part of the results view. It would be great if, when an automation has a canvas open at completion, that canvas showed up when I view the automation's output, similar to how canvases work in regular sessions. The artifacts are already being generated. Would love to see them without the extra step.

Start by tracing the automation output and results view, then compare how an open_canvas artifact is surfaced in regular sessions. Done means a canvas that is open when an automation completes appears with the automation's output without requiring users to find the artifact separately.
