admin 14642e3c7b v0.119.0 — the host report carries the box's addresses
A managed box's IP was invisible in every operator surface because nothing
reported one: HostMetrics carried node/cpu/mem/disk/load/uptime/temp/wrapper-sha
and no address of any kind. The hub could not show a host's LAN IP anywhere.

Two things that looked like the answer are traps, both checked before writing
code: lan_resolver.host_ip is an OPTIONAL config value absent unless that feature
is configured, and DeriveHostIP(local_api.listen_addr) returns 169.254.253.1 —
since R-50 the local API binds a link-local address identical on every box. Both
would have produced a confident wrong answer.

New wire field addresses[], one entry per (interface, address). Deliberately
iface+cidr rather than a single lan_ip: a Proxmox host legitimately holds several
(management bridge, tailnet, WG tunnel) and picking one to call "the" LAN IP is a
guess the agent is not entitled to make — silently wrong on a box whose bridge is
not vmbr0. The agent reports what exists; the hub does the labelling.

The filter is one predicate, chosen by MEASURING both demo hosts rather than by
reasoning about interface names. IsGlobalUnicast() alone drops loopback, IPv6
link-local (one per bridge, pure noise) and IPv4 link-local (169.254/16 — exactly
the island address above). It needs no veth/fwbr/tap denylist: that per-guest
plumbing carries no IP at all and self-excludes, verified on both boxes.

No new privilege and no block I/O — net.Interfaces() is a netlink/procfs read, so
the sudoers fence is untouched and the health-check rule is honoured.

The seam DEFAULTS to the real enumerator, inverting the nil-reporter-means-off
convention: this stanza has no config gate, so a forgotten wiring call would have
shipped it silently empty — the inert-seam failure recorded four times here.

Cross-repo: the golden is duplicated byte-identically in felhom.eu and the
contract test fails on top-level key drift, so both goldens moved together and
addresses[0]'s key set is asserted bidirectionally. The field marshals as [],
never null — the repo's own no-nulls invariant caught that on the first run.

Tests +9; three red-proofs (global-unicast filter, down-interface guard, inert
collectAddresses) each run, observed failing, and reverted.
