libtmux is picking up the wrong tmux version

Read libtmux/common.py around line 241 and the linked tmuxp report first; inspect how which combines default_paths with append_env_path. Done means the selected tmux executable follows the user's intended environment path rather than /usr/bin/tmux, addressing the reported protocol mismatch.

See: https://github.com/tmux-python/tmuxp/issues/794

Started new server, protocol mismatch. tmuxp seems to be using /usr/bin/tmux instead of what I have aliased.

$ tmux -V
tmux.orig 2.8

$ /usr/bin/tmux -V
tmux 1.8

The problem for me is https://github.com/tmux-python/libtmux/blob/master/libtmux/common.py#L241
Your search paths are then placing the system paths AFTER the custom patch which tmux pulls up:

241     def __init__(self, *args: t.Any, **kwargs: t.Any) -> None:
242         tmux_bin = which(
243             "tmux",
244             default_paths=kwargs.get(
245                 "tmux_search_paths",
246                 ["/bin", "/sbin", "/usr/bin", "/usr/sbin", "/usr/local/bin"],
247             ),
248             append_env_path=kwargs.get("append_env_path", True),
249         )

This really should be the other way around.

$ which tmux
tmux=/apollo/env/envImprovement/bin/tmux

I'd hate to have to fork this, so can we just perform a subprocess.run which tmux instead? Why do we need to search paths?
