Subject: [PATCH] feat: Add auto-reconnect functionality for Web Serial API

- Implement autoReconnect() function to automatically reconnect to previously authorized serial devices on page load
- Use navigator.serial.getPorts() to retrieve previously connected ports
- Add graceful error handling for auto-reconnect failures
- Improve disconnect() function with null check for port
- Eliminates need for manual reconnection after page refresh
- Maintains backward compatibility with existing functionality

Fixes issue where Web Serial connection was lost on page refresh, requiring users to manually reconnect their devices each time.
