Subject: [PATCH] Add Import Connections button to Lite sidebar
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Imports server connections from a previous Lite install's
config/servers.json. Upserts by server name — existing servers are
skipped, new ones are added with their original GUIDs so Credential
Manager entries still resolve without re-entering passwords.
