```
tmux.Window.SelectPane(ctx: context.Context, request: WindowSelectPaneRequest) -> (Pane, error)
```

SelectPane makes an exact or relative pane active in the receiver's exact winlink without selecting the window in its session. Target must belong to that same SessionID and WindowID; a PaneID alone does not identify a linked view. The returned [Pane] is the freshly materialized active pane in the receiver context, not a canonical ID-only view.

Command or refresh failures return zero because active-pane selection has no
reliable partial identity. Transport errors are delivery-ambiguous.
