tmux.Server.LoadBuffer(ctx: context.Context, request: LoadBufferRequest) -> error
```

LoadBuffer reads a file into a named or newly allocated buffer. Path follows [Server.SourceFile]'s current-user expansion and lexical normalization. It mutates tmux's destination buffer and rejects exact "-" because no process stdio is exposed.
