And what happens if auto_connect is false and I go to a page also with auto_connect=false, trying to use patch or navigate? I assume it does a full page navigation anyway? We should document this.

Yes. Each link will perform a full page reload.

A LiveView with auto_connect: false is special in that its reactivity would depend whether you arrived over a regular HTTP request or live navigation.
What would happen if the socket disconnects for some reason (e.g. user drives through a tunnel or server is redeployed)?

If the LiveView is connected once and disconnects, it will reconnect as usual. This only affects the very first page load.

to specify that a LiveView should not automatically connect on dead render. When navigated to and there's already a connection established, this option has no effect. See https://elixirforum.com/t/liveview-feature-to-cancel-second-render/67770
