Keep `Ctrl-f W` checks tied to the status-plugin instance captured when the picker opens. Repeated discovery could elect another bar and report a false attachment change, leaving even current-tab selection open without reordering. The [postmerge Linux failure](https://github.com/lanej/dotfiles/actions/runs/42354797356/job/128350404453) showed the same client switching from plugin 7 to 6. Subsequent read-only queries validate the original client/plugin/server/nonce token and its picker focus. A missing, reloaded, detached, or refocused receiver still stops the swap. These checks validate the captured requester rather than requiring a complete all-client snapshot; stable tab IDs and full order checks remain in place. No new plugin permission or runtime patch is needed. Follow-up to #199.

Ctrl-f Was the fuzzy tab-swap menu, matching tmux’sswap-window: selecting D in[A, B, C, D]from A produces[D, B, C, A]. Live panes keep their processes, and each attached client remains on its original tab. This reuses the existing picker and native CLI without a new runtime patch or plugin permission.The swap consists of adjacent moves and is not atomic. Concurrent changes or uncertain replies stop further work without retry or rollback. Closing the picker mid-swap can leave a partial order without a surviving warning; inspect positions before retrying. Modern status-plugin/runtime installation is required.
Reliability note: One initial Linux run rejected ownership before opening the menu; the cause remains unconfirmed. The picker fails closed on uncertain ownership rather than reordering.
