Browser tool: no persistent "always allow" for screenshot actions (unlike navigation)

Summary
The Browser tool's screenshot action (e.g. the computer screenshot action used during Claude Code sessions) always requires a per-instance "Allow once" confirmation, even for a site that is already listed under Settings -> Browser -> Allowed Sites. Navigation to the same site does NOT prompt once it's in that list, but taking a screenshot does, every single time, with no "Always allow" option in the dialog (only "Ablehnen" / "Einmal erlauben").
Steps to reproduce
- Add a local dev domain (e.g. a Laragon-hosted *.local site) to Settings -> Browser -> Allowed Sites.
- Confirm navigation to that site no longer prompts.
- Ask Claude to take a screenshot of that site during a session (Browser pane / computer tool).
- A permission dialog appears every time, with only "Allow once" / "Deny" - no way to persist it for this site.
Expected
Either the Allowed Sites entry should also cover screenshot actions, or there should be a way to persist a screenshot allowance per site (or per session), so it doesn't interrupt every frontend-verification workflow.
Environment
- Local dev via Laragon, HTTPS with self-signed cert, domain mapped via hosts file (e.g. firekids.local)
- Permission mode: Bypass Permissions
- Windows 11
