tmux.Pane.SetOption(ctx: context.Context, name: string, value: string, options: SetOptionOptions) -> error
```

SetOption stores a pane option at this exact pane target without refreshing existing models. Completed failures are secret-safe option errors; cancellation does not prove tmux did not accept the mutation.
