Setting persistent_reconnect to 1 is not for the case you are
interesting in. It is only for the purpose of configuring the device to
allow persistent group reinvocation without user interaction.

That is exactly how persistent_reconnect=1 is supposed to work.. You
need to leave it to 0 if you want user to acknowledge the connection.

P2P_CONNECT is for negotiating a new P2P group or joining an already
operating group, not for reinvoking a persistent group. You would issue
P2P_INVITE on the device to start another invitation exchange after the
user has accepted the connection. In other words, wait for this event:

P2P-INVITATION-RECEIVED sa=02:00:00:00:01:00 persistent=1 freq=2462

and issue this once user accepts:

P2P_INVITE persistent=1 peer=02:00:00:00:01:00 freq=2462

(the arguments copied from the event message assuming you do not have a
need to try to enforce different operating frequency)
