Follow-up to #886 (item #351).

The default [bridge] machine_name was <hostname>-<6 hex>. It is now AWS-instance-id style: i-flare-<12 hex of the instance id>, e.g. i-flare-51bb8de6c33b for flared:51bb8de6c33b.

• Privacy: the name lands in public beacon:<name> labels and PR footers; the instance id is hashed from the machine id precisely so the raw identity is not exposed, and a hostname in a label undoes that.
• Uniqueness: no hostname collisions (this machine's hostname is literally host).
• Traceability: the full 12 hex maps 1:1 to the owner=flared:<hex> claim markers, so a label can be matched to claim comments directly.

default_machine_name now takes only the instance id (hostname parameter removed); the sessions::os_hostname visibility change from #886 is reverted. Existing names are never overwritten, and a friendly name is still one agentflare config set machine-name away.

Tests updated: exact format, distinct ids give distinct names, a fallback id is sanitised and never empty, result passes the label character check. clippy with CI's exact flags is clean; machine_name (11), init (37), doctor (4) pass.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request changes default machine names to derive from the instance ID and makes the hostname lookup function public.

Changes

Instance-Based Machine Naming

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Derive and verify machine names src/github/bridge/config.rs	default_machine_name now uses up to 12 ASCII alphanumeric characters after the final colon in the instance ID, or unknown if none remain. ensure_machine_name passes the instance ID alone. Tests cover derived names and fallback behavior.

Hostname Lookup Visibility

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Expose hostname lookup src/sessions.rs	os_hostname is now public. Its signature and implementation are unchanged.

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1627f

Instances with malformed stored IDs can receive the same default machine name. This is a narrow case that should be corrected or explicitly accepted before merging.

Do not persist a shared name for an unusable instance ID.

If the stored instance ID is flared: or has a suffix with no ASCII-alphanumeric characters, stable_instance_id() can pass it to this function. Line 334 gives those IDs the same i-flare-unknown name, and ensure_machine_name() persists it. Reject or repair the stored ID before deriving a default name so separate instances do not share a beacon: label.
