- Add Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration packages for JSON configuration support
- Create AppConfig.cs with configuration model and placeholder resolution
- Create HardwareId.cs for unique board identifier detection (machine-id, DMI UUID, MAC, hostname)
- Add appsettings.json with configurable MQTT settings and application settings
- Update MQTTControl.cs to use configuration instead of hardcoded values
- Update Program.cs to load configuration and resolve {} placeholders
- Support {} placeholder in topic strings for board-specific topics
- Default topics match original hardcoded values (DotnetMQTT/Test/in and /out)
- Add comments in appsettings.json explaining board ID placeholder usage
- Auto-generate MQTT client ID from hardware ID if not configured
- Add HealthCheck.cs to track application health status (MQTT connection, last update time, beacon count, etc.) - Add HealthCheckServer.cs HTTP server to expose /health endpoint - Add IsConnected() method to MQTTControl for health check status - Update Program.cs to initialize and start health check server on configured port - Update UWBManager.cs to update health check metrics on each network update - Health check returns 200 (healthy) or 503 (degraded) based on MQTT connection and recent updates - Health check port configurable via appsettings.json (default: 8080)
