Use grouped tmux sessions for independent window navigation#21
Conversation
Replace `tmux attach-session` with `tmux new-session -t` when reattaching to an existing session. This creates a grouped session that shares windows but allows each terminal to independently select the active window. The `destroy-unattached` option ensures grouped sessions are cleaned up when the terminal disconnects.
The semicolon command separator in os.execvp doesn't work reliably with tmux. Instead, create the grouped session detached with a PID-based unique name, set destroy-unattached on it, then attach.
