Use Saved Jellyfin Server Credentials for CarPlay

When launching CarPlay, the app frequently prompts me to open the app on my phone in order to connect to the Jellyfin server. I don’t need to re-enter credentials, as they are already saved — however, CarPlay seems unable to use them unless the main app has been opened first.

It would greatly improve the CarPlay experience if the app could automatically use the stored Jellyfin server credentials, even when the iPhone app has not been manually launched beforehand.

Allowing CarPlay to authenticate seamlessly in the background would make the startup experience much smoother and more consistent.
