Subject: [PATCH] fix(popup): trigger CONNECT when popup opens with saved
 roomId
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

If user has a room configured but the background is not connected
(e.g. service worker was killed, startup race, or stale state), the
popup now sends CONNECT on open. Previously it only called GET_STATUS
and showed 'disconnected' with 0 logs — the user had no way to know
whether the extension was working.
