Pane.Respawn

Respawn restarts the process in the receiver's exact linked pane on every supported tmux. Command, when present, is passed as one tmux shell-command operand; Go neither executes it locally nor adds inner-shell quoting. Final semicolon protection applies only to tmux's outer command parser. See RespawnRequest for zero-value, directory, environment, and Kill behavior.

Description#

Respawn refreshes by PaneID, so the returned canonical Pane may carry a different linked-session or winlink context. The process may be restarted before refresh fails; in that case Respawn returns the original receiver and the refresh error. Earlier failures return zero. Completed stderr produces a redacted CommandError; a nonzero exit without stderr is followed by refresh.

The tmux commands behind Respawn.
