Documented steps
GET https://api.browserbase.com/v1/sessions/{id}/debug with header X-BB-API-Key: <key>.
The 200 response returns debuggerFullscreenUrl (fullscreen live view), debuggerUrl (embedded live view), pages[] (one entry per tab, each with its own debuggerUrl/debuggerFullscreenUrl/id/title/faviconUrl), and wsUrl (WebSocket to the session).
Open debuggerFullscreenUrl in a browser tab to watch or control the session live (view + click, type, scroll).
Use wsUrl to attach a custom CDP WebSocket client to the same browser.

Known gotchas
Each open tab has its own live-view url under pages[]; listen for new-tab events to fetch live urls as tabs open.
When the session ends, the live view shows a disconnect message; the iframe posts a browserbase-disconnected message to detect loss.
Mobile keyboards aren't officially supported in live view; forward key events to the automation script instead.
