 - Prefer literal sends: `tmux -S "$SOCKET" send-keys -t target -l -- "$cmd"`.
 - Control keys: `tmux -S "$SOCKET" send-keys -t target C-c`.
+- For interactive TUI apps like Claude Code/Codex, this guidance covers **how to send commands**.
+  Do **not** append `Enter` in the same `send-keys`. These apps may treat a fast text+Enter
+  sequence as paste/multi-line input and not submit; this is timing-dependent. Send text and
+  `Enter` as separate commands with a small delay (tune per environment; increase if needed,
+  or use `sleep 1` if sub-second sleeps aren't supported):
+
+```bash
+tmux -S "$SOCKET" send-keys -t target -l -- "$cmd" && sleep 0.1 && tmux -S "$SOCKET" send-keys -t target Enter
