@ZedZipDev cool, I've assigned this to you. If you decide you don't want to work on it, please let us know.

@ZedZipDev Just a heads up — the app already saves connection details (server name, auth type, encryption settings) to ~/.planview/connections.json, and credentials are stored in Windows Credential Manager (macOS Keychain on Mac). So multiple connections are persisted across sessions.

The main gap right now is that the server name field isn't a proper dropdown, so it's not obvious that previous connections are available. We're going to fix the UI to make saved connections more discoverable.
