```
tmuxtest.NewServer(ctx: context.Context, t: testing.TB) -> tmux.Server
```

NewServer starts an isolated [tmux.Server] with a session named "work". Startup uses ctx and the harness timeout, whichever ends first. It registers bounded cleanup with t; setup failures call [testing.TB.Fatal]. The context does not govern later server cleanup or daemon lifetime.
