lazy-tmux: restore tmux sessions lazily, with scrollback

tmuxsession-managerclidevops

lazy-tmux is a lazy tmux session manager with scrollback restore. It is a CLI tool that snapshots tmux sessions, capturing both running processes and scrollback history, and restores them lazily and seamlessly when a user selects one from a TUI. The project provides a GitHub repository, installation instructions, and documentation. A demo is available via Docker: `docker run -it --rm alchemmist/lazy-tmux:latest`. The demo preview shows a tmux session containing a shell, a running `top` command, and a deploying service. After detaching and running `tmux kill-server` to wipe everything, the session is brought back by picking it in the TUI, with the shell's scrollback and running processes intact.

// why it matters

Developers can restore complex tmux sessions with scrollback and processes after a crash or restart.
