tmux.GlobalSessionScope.SetDefaultShell(ctx: context.Context, value: string) -> error
```

SetDefaultShell stores the "default-shell" session option as string (tmux 3.2a or later). Read it with [SessionOptionValues.DefaultShell] from [GlobalSessionScope.Options]; [GlobalSessionScope.UnsetOption] restores inheritance or the global default.
