> Change tmux state; no client-supplied executable input. Block until something signals a tmux wait-for channel with 'tmux wait-for -S <channel>'. Use when you composed a shell command that signals it. For an ordinary command whose completion you want, run_shell_command already does this and also reports the exit status.

Change tmux state; no client-supplied executable input. Block until something signals a tmux wait-for channel with ‘tmux wait-for -S ’. Use when you composed a shell command that signals it. For an ordinary command whose completion you want, [run\_shell\_command](https://libtmux.org/en/dotnet/latest/mcp/tools/run_shell_command/) already does this and also reports the exit status.
