libtmux::Connection::execute(request: ControlRequest, deadline: std::chrono::steady_clock::time_point) -> ControlRequestResult
```

Completes at this request's private protocol boundary and preserves every guarded block before it.

This is wire evidence, not a final command result: tmux may end a block before a waiting job or file operation later reports unguarded output or failure. Use `Server::run` when final success or failure is required.
