```
server.refuseWithoutLocalTmux(runtime: : RuntimeContext, method: : string) -> void
```

Refuse a call that can only reach a tmux this process can spawn.

Control mode is a `tmux -C attach` child of this process. An engine exists
because tmux is somewhere this process cannot spawn it, so spawning anyway
would attach to whatever local tmux happens to be there — and every command
afterwards would succeed against the wrong server.
