io.github.libtmux.Pane.Pane.currentPath() -> Path
```

The working directory tmux reported for the pane.

Converted on request rather than when the pane was captured, because a directory name is
bytes to tmux and this JVM cannot always represent one: converting at capture time would lose
every pane on the server over a single pane's directory. {@link #currentPathText()} is the
value tmux actually reported, and never throws.

## Raises

- `LibTmuxException`: if this JVM's encoding cannot represent the name, which a UTF-8 locale fixes
