Add Home Assistant MQTT auto-discovery integration

- Implement `Systant.HaDiscovery` module for automatic device registration
- Add comprehensive sensor discovery: CPU, memory, GPU, disk, network, temperature
- Update MQTT client to publish discovery messages on startup
- Add HomeAssistant configuration section to systant.toml
- Create example configuration file with localhost MQTT broker
- Update CLAUDE.md with complete HA integration documentation
- Add mosquitto to development dependencies for testing

-### Phase 3: Home Assistant Integration
+### Phase 3: Home Assistant Integration (Completed)
-- Custom MQTT integration following Home Assistant patterns
+- ✅ **MQTT Auto-Discovery**: `server/lib/systant/ha_discovery.ex` - Publishes HA discovery configurations for automatic device registration
-- Auto-discovery of systant hosts via MQTT discovery protocol
+- ✅ **Device Registration**: Creates unified "Systant {hostname}" device in Home Assistant with comprehensive sensor suite
-- Create entities for metrics (sensors) and commands (buttons/services)
+- ✅ **Sensor Auto-Discovery**: CPU load averages, memory usage, system uptime, temperatures, GPU metrics, disk usage, network stats
-- Dashboard cards and automation support
+- ✅ **Configuration Integration**: TOML-based enable/disable with `homeassistant.discovery_enabled` setting
+- ✅ **Value Templates**: Proper JSON path extraction for nested metrics data with error handling
+- ✅ **Real-time Updates**: Seamless integration with existing MQTT stats publishing - no additional topics needed
+
+#### Home Assistant Integration Features
+- **Automatic Discovery**: No custom integration required - uses standard MQTT discovery protocol
+- **Device Grouping**: All sensors grouped under single "Systant {hostname}" device for clean organization  
+- **Comprehensive Metrics**: CPU, memory, disk, GPU (NVIDIA/AMD), network, temperature, and system sensors
+- **Configuration Control**: Enable/disable discovery via `systant.toml` configuration
+- **Template Flexibility**: Advanced Jinja2 templates handle optional/missing data gracefully
+- **Topic Structure**: Discovery on `homeassistant/#`, stats remain on `systant/{hostname}/stats`
+
+#### Setup Instructions
+1. **Configure MQTT Discovery**: Set `homeassistant.discovery_enabled = true` in `systant.toml`
+2. **Start Systant**: Discovery messages published automatically on startup (1s after MQTT connection)
+3. **Check Home Assistant**: Device and sensors appear automatically in MQTT integration
+4. **Verify Metrics**: All sensors should show current values within 30 seconds
+
+#### Available Sensors
+- **CPU**: Load averages (1m, 5m, 15m), temperature
+- **Memory**: Usage percentage, used/total in GB
+- **Disk**: Root and home filesystem usage percentages  
+- **GPU**: NVIDIA/AMD utilization, temperature, memory usage
+- **Network**: RX/TX bytes for primary interface
+- **System**: Uptime in hours, kernel version, online status
 
 ### Future Plans
 - Multi-host deployment for comprehensive system monitoring
