Description

The phishing controller should expect `origin` rather than `hostname` strings, and we should different different phishing lists for different protocols.

For example:

- DNS-related, e.g. http/https
- ENS (when not effectively resolved through DNS)
- IPFS

And so on.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the phishing controller and its handling of origin versus hostname, then clarify how phishing lists should differ for DNS-related protocols, ENS, and IPFS; done means protocol-aware origins and separate lists are supported.
