/**
 * TMUX SOCKET ISOLATION
 * =====================
 * This module manages an isolated tmux socket for Claude's operations.
 *
 * WHY THIS EXISTS:
 * Without isolation, Claude could accidentally affect the user's tmux sessions.
 * For example, running `tmux kill-session` via the Bash tool would kill the
 * user's current session if they started Claude from within tmux.
 *
 * HOW IT WORKS:
 * 1. Claude creates its own tmux socket: `claude-<PID>` (e.g., `claude-12345`)
 * 2. ALL Tmux tool commands use this socket via the `-L` flag
 * 3. ALL Bash tool commands inherit TMUX env var pointing to this socket
 *    (set in Shell.ts via getClaudeTmuxEnv())
 *
 * This means ANY tmux command run through Claude - whether via the Tmux tool
 * directly or via Bash - will operate on Claude's isolated socket, NOT the
 * user's tmux session.
 *
 * IMPORTANT: The user's original TMUX env var is NOT used. After socket
 * initialization, getClaudeTmuxEnv() returns a value that overrides the
 * user's TMUX in all child processes spawned by Shell.ts.
