Server.CommandPrompt

CommandPrompt asks tmux to display a background command prompt and returns after tmux accepts it, not after input is submitted or Template runs. It is available on every supported tmux. Later flags follow UnsupportedPolicy. Completed stderr is an error; cancellation does not prove prompt delivery or later execution.
