HomeAssistantWebSocketWorker holds a persistent state_changed subscription per HA endpoint that opts in via the connector's WebSocket toggle (HaEndpointConfig.UseWebSocket): auth handshake, subscribe, ingest in real time, capped-backoff reconnect. The REST poll worker skips WS endpoints so each is served once. HaWebSocketProtocol holds the pure handshake/parse logic. Verified by 11 protocol unit tests + a live integration test against an in-process fake HA server. CLAUDE.md updated.
