```
tmux.Server.RunShell(ctx: context.Context, request: RunShellRequest) -> ([]string, error)
```

RunShell executes a shell command through tmux and returns an owned stdout slice. A background request returns nil after tmux accepts the job. Unsupported optional flags follow [UnsupportedPolicy]. A completed stderr result is an error; context cancellation can be observed with [errors.Is] but does not establish that tmux did not start the job.
