+# redraw_damage_refresh_status() (screen-redraw.c) force-regenerates a
+# pane's border-status title when a damage rectangle touches it, guarded
+# by the per-pane PANE_NEWSTATUS flag. window_make_pane_status() formats
+# pane-border-format using the requesting client's own context (so e.g.
+# #{client_name} differs per client), but wp->status_screen/PANE_NEWSTATUS
+# are shared by every client viewing the pane. With two clients attached
+# to the same session, whichever client's damage pass runs first renders
+# its own text and sets the flag; the other client's damage pass, finding
+# the flag already set, used to skip rendering entirely and reuse
+# whatever was already there.
+#
+# This checks the actual server-side decision via the -vv log rather than
+# a visual capture: an unrelated periodic client status-refresh reliably
+# repaints each client's title correctly again within the same tick right
+# after the buggy decision is made, before anything is ever flushed to
+# either terminal, so the wrong content this bug produces is never
+# visible to any external capture - the log is the only place the actual
+# bug (or its absence) can be observed.
+#
+# A floating pane with its own pane-border-status is positioned so that a
+# damage rectangle from an *unrelated* palette change (OSC 4) in the
+# underlying tiled pane - whose own geometry spans the whole window -
+# overlaps the floating pane's title row without touching its content,
+# giving a damage-only trigger with no side effect that would otherwise
+# force a normal (non-buggy) full per-client status re-render in the same
+# pass and mask the result either way.
