Previously, the `--auto-connect` flag would send connection commands to the daemon on every CLI invocation, even when the daemon was already running and maintaining an active connection. This caused Chrome to repeatedly prompt for remote debugging permissions during long-running tasks.
This fix adds checks for `daemon_result.already_running` to skip sending launch commands when the daemon is already active and holding connections. The changes apply to:
- Auto-connect flow: Skip when daemon already running since it holds the connection from previous launch
- CDP connections: Skip sending commands but validate input eagerly for immediate error feedback
- Cloud provider connections: Skip when daemon already maintains the provider connection
This preserves the existing connection reuse logic in the daemon while preventing redundant connection attempts from the CLI side.
Fixes#962
