Descrizione
### Background
The `pslab.serial_handler` module is deprecated and emits warnings during build and runtime.
A newer API is available via `pslab.connection.SerialHandler`.
Migrating to the new API is necessary, but the two implementations differ in runtime behavior, particularly regarding connection states.
### Current CLI behavior
In `pslab/cli.py`, the CLI currently:
- Instantiates `SerialHandler(port=args.port)`
- Uses the handler immediately without explicitly calling `connect()`
- Relies on the deprecated module's **implicit** connection behavior to function.
### Behavior difference with `pslab.connection`
The newer `pslab.connection.SerialHandler`:
- Does **not** auto-connect on initialization.
- Requires an explicit `.connect()` call to open the port.
- Will fail at runtime if used immediately after instantiation without connection.
### Proposed Resolution
To safely migrate to the new API, the CLI logic in `pslab/cli.py` will be updated to:
1. **Explicit Connection:** Call `handler.connect()` immediately after instantiation.
2. **Lifecycle Management:** Wrap the execution in a `try...finally` block to ensure `handler.disconnect()` is called on exit.
3. **Port Handling:** Ensure `args.port` is passed correctly to support both specific port selection and auto-discovery.
