Then build a supervisor that reconciles running tmux sessions against a declared set. libtmux drives a real tmux server from code. It gives you objects for the server, its sessions, windows and panes. Documentation for every language is at https://libtmux.org/en/. Language: C++ Package: libtmux-cxx (its repository) Repository: https://github.com/libtmux/libtmux-cxx Read these before writing code: - https://libtmux.org/en/cxx/latest/llms.txt every page for C++, as a list - https://libtmux.org/en/cxx/latest/docs.json the same list with headings, as JSON - https://libtmux.org/en/cxx/latest/reference/ the C++ API reference If you cannot fetch URLs, clone the repository above and read its README and examples instead, or ask me to paste those pages in. Set up first: 1. Report the tmux version with `tmux -V`. libtmux drives a real tmux, so nothing below works without one. Stop and tell me if it is missing. 2. If this directory is not a C++ project yet, write a CMakeLists.txt declaring cmake_minimum_required and project(), targeting C++23. Skip this in a project that already exists, and match what is here. 3. Add the dependency. libtmux-cxx is not published to its registry yet, so this installs from the repository at tag v0.1.0-alpha.11. include(FetchContent) FetchContent_Declare(libtmux-cxx GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/libtmux/libtmux-cxx GIT_TAG v0.1.0-alpha.11) FetchContent_MakeAvailable(libtmux-cxx) Check https://github.com/libtmux/libtmux-cxx for a newer version, and prefer a stable release over this one if there now is any. 4. Write the smallest program that proves the install works: connect to a tmux server, create a session, confirm it is there, then kill it. Give that server a socket of its own rather than using the default one, so this never touches a tmux I am already running. Run it, and show me the output and the files you added. Rules for everything below: - Use the reference above rather than guessing names. The ten libtmux ports do not share spellings, and a name from another language will look plausible and not exist. - If the reference does not have something you expected, say so instead of writing a call that does not exist. - Follow the conventions already in this repository. Session supervisor What it does: - Reads a declared set of sessions and windows from a file. - Compares it against what the server is running and reports the difference before changing anything. - Applies the difference: creates what is missing, and leaves alone anything already correct. - Has a dry-run mode that prints the plan and touches nothing. Constraints: - Converge. Running it repeatedly against an unchanged server must do nothing the second time and say so. - Never kill a window it did not create unless I pass an explicit flag. - Compare against the server's own state rather than against a file this tool wrote last time. - Report what changed in terms I can read, not a diff of internal structures.
