class LibTmux.TmuxWaitChannel

An open wait on a tmux wait-for channel.

tmux gives a signal to whoever is registered on the channel and raises the channel's pending flag only when nobody is. A waiter whose client dies stays registered — tmux clears waiters when the server exits and at no other time — so it goes on eating signals that can no longer reach anybody. Killing a waiting client to enforce a timeout therefore destroys the next signal, and each timed-out retry leaves another corpse to destroy the one after that.

So this never abandons a live waiter. WaitAsync returning false means that attempt expired without observing completion. The open wait remains owned and may already have completed from a racing signal. Disposing ends its lifetime deliberately.
