Description
We should probably do one or both of:
- Generate a predetermined prefix in case of conflict, so that the default clicking through just works
- Don't enable commands if the user doesn't explicitly opt into it by enabling it.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the creation of multiple connections of the same type in one room and observe how unique prefixes and commands are handled. Compare the two proposed directions: generating a conflict-free default prefix, or requiring explicit opt-in before enabling commands. Done means the default flow no longer requires manual prefix selection, or commands remain disabled until explicitly enabled.
