Description#

tmux exports TMUX to everything it starts, as <socket path>,<server pid>,<session id>. Only the socket path is read: the session id is stale the moment a pane moves, and a #() job carries no session at all — so a caller who wants the session asks tmux, rather than trusting what it inherited.
