```
stop_pipe(Pane)
-spec stop_pipe(tmux_model:pane()) ->
                   {ok, map()} | {error, map()}.
```

Close this registered pane's native pipe, performing I/O. On a live pane, closing an already closed pipe succeeds. An exited pane can produce a native command error; a vanished ID returns `target_gone`.

Closing can discard pending bytes. It neither kills nor waits for an arbitrary
shell job started by `pipe/3`; applications must verify consumption and
process completion themselves. The endpoint does not own that shell process.
