```
tmux.Window.Respawn(ctx: context.Context, request: RespawnRequest) -> (Window, error)
```

Respawn restarts the stable window process through the receiver's exact winlink. It does not select the window or promise any client focus. Respawn returns a canonical freshly materialized [Window], which may use another linked session for the same WindowID. If the command succeeds but refresh fails, it returns the receiver with that error; earlier failures return zero. Completed stderr produces a redacted [CommandError]; nonzero exits without stderr are followed by refresh.
