Research direction
Investigate the tmux resurrect plugin's save and restore scripts (e.g., helpers.sh, save.sh, restore.sh) to understand how pane geometries are stored and applied. Check if there is a known issue with window size restoration when saving/restoring split panes. Reproduce the bug with different tmux configurations and identify the exact point where the sizing fails.
