Description

### Feature Description

Visual cue to indicate when a collapsed connection group contains an active connection.

### Problem and Motivation

When server or database connections are saved within a connection group and the groups are minimized, I can't tell which groups have active connections within them. Some kind of visual cue, even a simple bold heading at the connection level would be appreciated. Thanks

Research direction

Start by locating the TypeScript implementation of the Connection dialog and its collapsed connection-group rendering. Confirm how active connections are represented, then define and implement a visible cue for a collapsed group containing one; the work is done when the cue is clear in the minimized group state.
