jochen 5c212531da avahi: the discovery daemon declared, and why it hears nothing reported
On all four machines and owned by none. The module declares the package and
the daemon. It leaves nsswitch.conf and nss-mdns as found — the hosts: line is
one list every name source shares, and the host writes blocks, not line
members — and opens nothing: the mesh's filter drops inbound UDP 5353 on every
machine and `listens` has no local-link scope. avahi_status, _browse, _resolve
and _services report both (to-be 42 Phase 1).

// avahi's tools bundle (novox/hq to-be 42 Phase 1, research 026/05): a process the node's runtime
// launches and speaks MCP over stdio to, through the Go SDK (ADR 0188, ADR 0193). It reads the
// daemon, the name service's wiring and the packet filter's view of mDNS, browses the local network
// for services, resolves a name, and lists what the machine publishes. It changes nothing.
