/**
* PaneBackendExecutor adapts a PaneBackend to the TeammateExecutor interface.
*
* This allows pane-based backends (tmux, iTerm2) to be used through the same
* TeammateExecutor abstraction as InProcessBackend, making getTeammateExecutor()
* return a meaningful executor regardless of execution mode.
*
* The adapter handles:
* - spawn(): Creates a pane and sends the Claude CLI command to it
* - sendMessage(): Writes to the teammate's file-based mailbox
* - terminate(): Sends a shutdown request via mailbox
* - kill(): Kills the pane via the backend
* - isActive(): Checks if the pane is still running
