```
tmux.Window.Rename(ctx: context.Context, name: string) -> (Window, error)
```

Rename changes the stable window through the receiver's exact winlink and returns a canonical freshly materialized [Window]. The returned winlink may therefore use another session when the WindowID is linked. If the command succeeds but refresh fails, Rename returns the receiver with that error. A transport or context error can be delivery-ambiguous; no rollback is attempted.
