Prior to this change, I was able to auto-reconnect WalletConnect w/o the QR code popup appearing. Is it worth investigating why the QR code would appear for some users, but not others when auto-reconnecting WC?

@kev1n-peters, this was in V1:

• https://github.com/wormhole-foundation/wormhole-connect/blob/release/wormhole-connect/src/utils/wallet/index.ts#L132

Using a mobile wallet as an example, if you disconnect your mobile app or if the session has expired, once you open a Connect instance again, WalletConnect will try to reuse the session. However, since it’s no longer valid, the WalletConnect popup will appear, and without a clear context, it may seem confusing.

I’ll check if there’s an easy way to detect whether WalletConnect still has a valid active session. But even if that’s the case, I’m not sure if it would be secure to auto-connect, as you could be accessing someone else’s wallet session
