- 
+ - MQTT auto-config now also enables BirdNET-Go's native Home Assistant MQTT auto-discovery: detection sensors appear in Home Assistant automatically with no manual YAML (existing UI/config.yaml edits are preserved)
+- MQTT auto-config seeds `realtime.mqtt.retain: true` (only when unset) so sensor states survive Home Assistant restarts
+- Added supervisor watchdog (tcp://[HOST]:[PORT:8080]) so the add-on is automatically restarted if BirdNET-Go stops responding
+- Added backup_exclude for rotated logs, making Home Assistant backups smaller (SQLite journals are kept so hot backups stay consistent)
