The user must later reconnect manually.

Expected behavior
Expected behavior
NVDA Remote should continue retrying the connection automatically for some time after an initial failure, similarly to the behavior observed in older versions such as NVDA 2025.3.3.
Ideally, this could be:
- the default behavior again;
- or an optional configurable setting;
- or a retry/reconnect timeout option.
