feat(core): Disable computer-use auto-connect daemon (no-changelog)

[Cadiac]

Summary

Do we want to have the auto-connect daemon enabled right now - we spoke last week that maybe not (yet)?
Maybe we could make this something opt-in, or have it enable only when user does some action like clicks on some connect button so that they expect it?

@elsmr is working on moving the connection block to the chat - I would also expect that we would have the enabled/disabled polling functionality with his changes. So I would wait with this one.

todays release happened already anyways, and that version will unexpectedly prompt the user to allow these connections.
