`wifitui connect <ssid>` (without a passphrase) calls ActivateConnection directly. On the NetworkManager backend this looks up the connection and access point in maps that are only populated by BuildNetworkList. The CLI path never called BuildNetworkList, so those maps were always empty and the command always failed with "connection not found". Call BuildNetworkList(false) immediately before ActivateConnection in the CLI path. No scan is triggered — only the internal state is populated. The JoinNetwork path is left alone; it creates its own unsaved connection and already handles a missing AccessPoint gracefully.
