+The `party` group is the partyline: filesystem access to party sockets is shared among members, and `tmux server-access` decides who is actually let into a given session. No shared install directory is needed: each party keeps its own state under its own per-party private directory. Parties you haven't been invited to yet show up in `party list` as `invite-only`; `party join` on one tells you which host to ask (exit status 13).
