libtmux::Server::startable_at_socket_path(path: std::string_view, configuration: std::optional< std::filesystem::path >, observer: CommandObserver = {}, policy: ExecutionPolicy = {}) -> expected< Server, CommandFailure >
```

A socket handle that may create an absent server on its first `new_session` call or an explicit `run({"start-server"})`.

`configuration` is passed to tmux as `-f`; absent preserves tmux's user configuration. Every other call remains no-start while the socket is absent. The selector and configuration are frozen in the handle, and concurrent first-session calls are serialized.
