## Integration with Existing SecuBox Modules

### Existing Module Catalog

All existing SecuBox modules already have catalog entries in:
```
/usr/share/secubox/plugins/catalog/*.json
```

**Current modules (24 total)**:
- system-hub, vhost-manager, network-modes
- auth-guardian, client-guardian, bandwidth-manager
- traffic-shaper, crowdsec-dashboard, netdata-dashboard
- netifyd-dashboard, wireguard-dashboard, mqtt-bridge
- media-flow, ksm-manager, cdn-cache, zigbee2mqtt
- secubox-hub, nextcloud, adguardhome, magicmirror
- domoticz, lyrion, network-tweaks, secubox-bonus

### Automatic Discovery

The AppStore automatically discovers all modules with catalog entries:

```bash
$ secubox app list

Available Modules:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
MODULE               CATEGORY     STATUS       VERSION
system-hub           system       installed    1.5.0
vhost-manager        system       installed    2.0.1
wireguard-dashboard  networking   available    1.2.0
...
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
```
