Research direction

Start with the application tree window and inspect how the existing remote connection tree is represented and edited. Compare its navigation with the Liberica Mission Control example and clarify the expected behavior for groups, nested groups, moving connections, and search. Done means these operations work together and make large remote-connection lists easier to navigate.
