feat(smolmachines): per-bottle loopback alias scopes TSI to single /32
PR #74's Docker-Desktop fix routed the agent through
`127.0.0.1:<random>` loopback forwards, but TSI filters by IP
only — so the allowlist `127.0.0.1/32` let the agent VM reach
**any** host service on macOS loopback (postgres, dev servers,
other bottles' published ports, mDNSResponder, ...). Real
downgrade vs the docker backend's `--internal` network.

Resolution: per-bottle loopback alias.

- New `loopback_alias` module manages a pool of
  `127.0.0.16` .. `127.0.0.31` on `lo0`. macOS only routes
  `127.0.0.1` by default; the extras need `sudo ifconfig lo0
  alias`. `ensure_pool()` lazily adds the missing entries via
  one sudo prompt on first launch per reboot — aliases persist
  on `lo0` until reboot, so subsequent launches skip the
  prompt entirely.
- `allocate(slug)` picks the lowest-numbered unused alias by
  inspecting running bundle containers' port-binding HostIps.
  No on-disk reservation — docker is the source of truth.
- Bundle bringup binds published ports to the allocated alias
  (`docker run -p <alias>::<port>`) instead of `127.0.0.1`.
- TSI allowlist becomes the alias's /32 — narrows reachability
  to this bottle's bundle only.
- Linux native daemons share the host's network namespace;
  `127.0.0.0/8` works without aliases, so the module no-ops on
  non-Darwin and returns `127.0.0.1` from `allocate`.

"""Per-bottle loopback alias allocation (PRD 0023, follow-up to
the Docker-Desktop fix in PR #74).
After the pivot to host-loopback port-forwards, the smolmachines
TSI allowlist was `127.0.0.1/32` — which meant the agent VM could
reach **any** service bound to macOS's loopback, not just the
bundle's published ports. That's a real downgrade from the
docker backend's `--internal` network isolation.
This module narrows the allowlist by allocating each bottle a
unique loopback alias (`127.0.0.16` .. `127.0.0.31` by default).
The bundle's port-forwards bind to that alias, TSI's allowlist is
the alias /32, and other host loopback services stay invisible to
the bottle.
macOS only configures `127.0.0.1` on `lo0` by default; the
additional aliases require `sudo ifconfig lo0 alias`. We lazily
sudo-add the missing pool on first use per boot — the aliases
persist on `lo0` until reboot, so subsequent launches don't
prompt.
Linux native daemons share the host's network namespace; the
whole `127.0.0.0/8` is reachable by default and aliases are
unnecessary. The pool logic detects native-Linux and skips sudo
entirely.
Allocation is coordinated by inspecting running bundle
containers' published host IPs — each bottle's bundle owns the
alias appearing in its port bindings. The lowest-numbered free
alias gets handed to a new bottle."""
