Pihole Local Dns Records

This skill should be used when configuring Pi-hole so devices show by friendly name instead of raw IP in the dashboard/Top Clients/Query Log, when the "List of configured clients" (Group Management > Clients) Comment field doesn't seem to change any display elsewhere, when identifying an unlabeled/mystery device on the network without router access, when a dashboard label doesn't update even though the dns.hosts record looks correct, or when managing dns.hosts declaratively via Ansible. Trigger phrases include "pi-hole map traffic to devices", "pi-hole client names in dashboard", "pi-hole Local DNS Records", "dns.hosts pihole.toml", "pihole-FTL --config dns.hosts", "client comment not showing in dashboard", "pihole network table discover devices", "identify unknown device on network", "what is this IP/MAC", "dns-sd companion-link", "mdns bonjour identify device", "private wifi address randomized mac", "dashboard name not updating", "pihole query log lag", "dns.hosts restarts FTL", "maxDBdays not trimming".
