 ## Stream the same agent

+Use `.stream_ask` when a console, HTTP response, or user interface should receive
+the answer as it is written. Replace the `.ask` call with the following code.
+
+Each `:agent_stream` event contains the Agent's progress and a `source` that
+identifies which Agent produced it. The source check below selects the Agent
+you called directly: `/root` with no enclosing assembly steps. `:text_delta`
+contains the next piece of its answer.
 
 ```ruby
 stream = CustomerSupportAgent.stream_ask("Can I get a refund?")
 
 run = stream.each do |event|
   case event.type
-  when :text_delta
-    print event.data.fetch(:text)
+  when :agent_stream
+    source = event.data.fetch(:source)
+    next unless source.agent_path == "/root" && source.assembly_path.empty?
+
+    progress = event.data.fetch(:event)
+    print progress.data.fetch(:text) if progress.type == :text_delta
   when :run_error
     warn event.data.fetch(:message)
   end
 end
 
-puts "\n#{run.response}" if run.completed?
+run.response # The completed answer, separate from live progress.
 warn run.error.class.name if run.failed?
 ```
 
-The stream yields `LittleGhost::StreamEvent` values. Text, tool activity, usage, and completion all look the same across providers. When enumeration finishes, `.each` returns the same `LittleGhost::Run` that now holds the final outcome and response.
+When enumeration finishes, `.each` returns the Run with the final outcome and
+complete response. You can display progress and still read the finished answer.
+
+If you later add other Agents, their progress arrives in the same stream. Keep
+the source check when your audience should see only this Agent's text. See
+[Compose Agents](assemblies.md) to display several participants.
