That depends on your use case. Some cases may want to do this
automatically (say, a mouse connecting to a laptop where a persistent
group has been established just for that specific purpose between two
devices), some want to ask user to accept the connection (say, a TV or
video projector with multiple devices connecting to it).

That persistent_reconnect parameter allows you to set which one of the
supported cases you are targeting on the device.

Just like in any P2P group, i.e., a P2P Client can use invitation to
request a peer device to join the group that P2P Client is in. The fact
that the group happens to be a persistent group does not change anything
for that part. The invited devices would then have an option of figuring
out that it has a persistent group information available for the group
and use that information to avoid having to go through the WPS
provisioning step again.
