+## Context with run_and_wait and message_callbacks
+
+`ShellRun` snapshots the active context when `run` / `run_and_wait` creates it. The queue consumer runs `message_callbacks` inside that snapshot, so handlers see the same `live_print_scope` as the caller even though dispatch runs on a pool thread.
+
+```python
+from ask_shell._internal._run import run_and_wait
+from ask_shell._internal.events import ShellRunStdOutput
+from ask_shell.console import get_live_print_context, live_print_scope
+
+seen: list[str | None] = []
+

+def on_stdout(message):
+    match message:
+        case ShellRunStdOutput(is_stdout=True):

+            seen.append(ctx.prefix if ctx else None)

+
+with live_print_scope(prefix="[dir] "):
+    run_and_wait("echo ok", message_callbacks=[on_stdout])
+
+print(seen)
+#> ['[dir] ']
+```
+
+The snapshot is fixed for the life of that `ShellRun`; changing `live_print_scope` after `run_and_wait` returns does not affect callbacks for an in-flight run. Retries reuse the same snapshot.
