In windows opened by netssh multi, prefix S toggles broadcast for all
panes and prefix e excludes the current pane (a pane-level
synchronize-panes off, shown as [SOLO] in the border) or includes it
again. netssh sync --pane does the same from a shell.
S and e are unbound in a default tmux (E would be "spread evenly").
netssh writes the bindings to a small tmux config and sources it, binds
a key only if the user's tmux.conf does not use it (netssh's own earlier
binding is refreshed), and the bindings act only in windows marked
@netssh. multi.sync_key and multi.solo_key change the keys or turn them
off (none); also in the configurator. zellij syncs whole tabs only, so
excluding a pane is tmux-only.
testenv: the render test presses the keys through the xterm client
(send-keys -K) and checks [SOLO], that broadcast skips the excluded
pane, that S toggles, and that other windows are unaffected. The client
gets GNU grep: BusyBox grep -oF counted only one match per line.

tests/16-render.sh runs tmux, zellij, and the TUI in xterm on Xvfb,
takes screenshots, and reads them back with tesseract: remote prompts
in all panes, borders and titles with the hosts, [SYNC] appearing and
disappearing, panes side by side, broadcast output in every pane and
input in one pane only without it, windows split by panes_per_window,
the status bar, and TUI marks. Screenshots stay in testenv/.artifacts.
OCR reads three preprocessing variants (plain, stretched for dim gray,
brightest channel for colored text) and normalizes characters that
DejaVu Sans Mono makes ambiguous (1/l, C/().
The screenshots showed tmux cutting the session name in the status bar
to "[netssh-pv"; netssh multi now widens status-left-length for its
own session.
