//! Federation identity resolution.
//!
//! Resolves the `sender_agent_id` a federation node signs and presents
//! itself as on the wire. Historically this was hardcoded at the daemon
//! bootstrap as `format!("host:{}", gethostname())`, coupling federation
//! identity to the OS hostname. That is unworkable for fleets that need
//! stable, trust-domain-scoped, rotatable identities (see ADR-001).
//!
//! This module makes the identity resolvable from explicit operator
//! configuration or the environment, **defaulting to the historical
//! `host:<hostname>` form** so existing single- and multi-node
//! deployments are byte-for-byte unaffected until they opt in.
