```
(chain! server operations)

(chain! server operations options)
```

Runs dependent argv commands with tmux's implicit target between positions.

Uses a fresh Java CommandChain. Failed/skipped outcomes are data; transport
failure throws with `:tmux/results.` Use `{:kind :wait}` for groups needing a
release, including blocking shell commands. No rollback or retry safety is
promised.
[[batch!]] runs commands with explicit independent targets.

## Parameters

- `server`
- `operations`
- `options` (for `chain!(server, operations, options)`)
