Research direction

Start by locating MicroPython's socket module implementation and its existing name-resolution methods, then compare the requested socket.getnameinfo() API with the corresponding Python behavior. Done means the method is exposed with defined behavior on supported ports and has coverage for the relevant cases, but the issue does not name specific files or tests.
