> Require the target pane to be live and outside human-owned mode, then stage a private target-only buffer, optionally append Enter, paste it once, and verify cleanup. Empty text without Enter is a guarded buffer-free no-op. Send input to a pane's program; a shell that receives it runs it with your user's permissions.

Empty text without Enter is a guarded buffer-free no-op. Send input to a pane’s program; a shell that receives it runs it with your user’s permissions.
