Pane.OpenObservation

OpenObservation captures the pane's visible text and returns an owned observation whose notifications begin at the capture's exact control-wire boundary. It resolves the pane's exact linked session before opening a dedicated control client. The caller must close the result.

Pane (tmux)

Pane is one materialized pane record within a specific winlink. It is normally returned by Server.Snapshot, Server.Pane, or Pane.Refresh. A zero Pane is not a usable tmux target.

PaneObservation

PaneObservation is one visible pane baseline followed by the exact control notification stream after that baseline. That stream is the observation's whole control connection, so a caller wanting only this pane's output selects it by identifier. Create one with Pane.OpenObservation and close it when finished. Copies share notification reader ownership, terminal loss, and client lifetime; closing one closes them all.
