fsn-01.node.clupilot.com, numbered per datacenter and never reused — removing a
host must not renumber its neighbours onto its name, so the number is stored
rather than derived.
The record points at the host's WireGuard address, not its public IP: the name
exists so an operator can reach a host by name over the VPN, and publishing a
Proxmox host's public address would hand every scanner a target, which is the
one thing this network design avoids.
DNS is convenience, not a prerequisite: a failure logs an event and lets the
onboarding finish rather than stranding a host that is otherwise ready.
