libtmux::Server::wait_for_text(target: std::string_view, wanted: std::string_view, options: const WaitOptions & = {}) -> expected< WaitResult, CommandFailure >
```

Wait until the pane `target` names produces `wanted`.

For a caller holding a target rather than a `Pane` — `Pane::wait_for_text` is the same wait without the lookup. One deadline covers both: a target that will not resolve cannot spend the whole budget and leave nothing for waiting, and `WaitPath::pane_lookup` says that is what happened.
