### Description
When KDE Connect is initially not connected to the PC, the dank bar icon correctly displays a disconnected status; however, once the connection is later established, the icon fails to update.
### Expected Behavior
_No response_
### Steps to Reproduce
1. Ensure the phone is disconnected from the PC's KDE Connect.
2. Launch the status bar and verify that the dank bar icon correctly displays the **disconnected** state.
3. Establish a connection between the phone and the PC via KDE Connect.
4. Verify that the actual connection is successful (e.g., functions like clipboard sync work normally).
5. Observe the dank bar icon.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the Phone Connect Plugin and the dank bar icon update handling, then reproduce the listed disconnected-to-connected KDE Connect sequence. Done means the icon changes from disconnected to connected after the phone connection is established; the payload names no source files or tests.
