Description
We should instead auto-generate a prefix after the first one, and allow the user to generate their own.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing where connection command prefixes are validated and assigned, then inspect how multiple same-kind connections are created. Done means a later connection receives an automatic prefix while users can provide their own, with coverage for both behaviors.
