Add a new "builder" capability to trigger Nix builds on a dedicated
build host via NATS messaging. This allows pre-building NixOS
configurations before deployment.
New components:
- Builder mode: subscribes to build.<repo>.* subjects, executes nix build
- Build CLI command: triggers builds with progress tracking
- MCP build tool: available with --enable-builds flag
- Builder metrics: tracks build success/failure per repo and host
- NixOS module: services.homelab-deploy.builder
The builder uses a YAML config file to define allowed repositories
with their URLs and default branches. Builds can target all hosts
or specific hosts, with real-time progress updates.

Add an optional Prometheus metrics HTTP endpoint to the listener for
monitoring deployment operations. Includes four metrics:
- homelab_deploy_deployments_total (counter with status/action/error_code)
- homelab_deploy_deployment_duration_seconds (histogram with action/success)
- homelab_deploy_deployment_in_progress (gauge)
- homelab_deploy_info (gauge with hostname/tier/role/version)
New CLI flags: --metrics-enabled, --metrics-addr (default :9972)
New NixOS options: metrics.enable, metrics.address, metrics.openFirewall

Implement the complete homelab-deploy system with three operational modes:
- Listener mode: Runs on NixOS hosts as a systemd service, subscribes to
NATS subjects with configurable templates, executes nixos-rebuild on
deployment requests with concurrency control
- MCP mode: MCP server exposing deploy, deploy_admin, and list_hosts
tools for AI assistants with tiered access control
- CLI mode: Manual deployment commands with subject alias support via
environment variables
Key components:
- internal/messages: Request/response types with validation
- internal/nats: Client wrapper with NKey authentication
- internal/deploy: Executor with timeout and lock for concurrency
- internal/listener: Subject template expansion and request handling
- internal/cli: Deploy logic with alias resolution
- internal/mcp: MCP server with mcp-go integration
- nixos/module.nix: NixOS module with hardened systemd service
