Document automatic reconnection of shared databases

📝 Documentation 🕐 Less than 5 minutes

AI Description

• Document automatic shared-database reconnection after restarting JabRef.
• Clarify that reconnection requires the startup library preference.

High-Level Assessment

The inline clarification is optimal because it places the startup behavior immediately after the shared-database connection instructions. Separate documentation or additional diagrams would add unnecessary complexity for this small behavioral note.

Description

The sentence claims every still-connected shared database reconnects automatically, but databases
requiring authentication cannot do so when the optional **Remember password** setting was not
selected. Users may therefore expect unattended reconnection when JabRef no longer has the
credentials needed to authenticate.

Code

+Shared databases that are still connected when you quit JabRef are reconnected automatically on the next start, just like local libraries (when **Open last edited libraries on startup** is enabled in the preferences).

Evidence

The added line makes the startup preference the only stated condition for automatic reconnection,
while the connection instructions establish that saving the database password is optional and
unavailable without a credential store. Thus a password-protected database may lack the
authentication data needed for the promised automatic reconnection.

Agent prompt

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The documentation promises automatic reconnection without explaining that password-protected databases require credentials retained through **Remember password**.
## Issue Context
The same guide says password persistence is optional and may be unavailable when no operating-system credential store can be reached. Describe automatic reconnection as conditional on the necessary credentials being available, or explain that user interaction may otherwise be required.
