Description
### Expected Behavior
The UI should display the execution flow, including updates and visual progress of node processing, even after reconnecting.
### Actual Behavior
When connected to a local ComfyUI instance via API, closing the GUI window and reopening it results in a loss of execution flow visualization. The nodes still process on the remote machine, but the execution flow (arrows, updates, or progress indicators, outputs, etc) does not update the UI until another prompt is submitted on that session.
### Steps to Reproduce
- Connect to a local ComfyUI instance via API.
- Submit a prompt and observe nodes generating.
- Close the GUI window (without stopping the local instance).
- Reopen the GUI and reconnect to the same instance.
- Submit another prompt.
### Debug Logs
```powershell
N/A
```
### Other
If someone just tells me what I'd need to do to reconnect to the WS instance I could most likely do a PR. I just don't want to learn a new codebase to fix this low of an issue.
