Description

XXX.localhost is set up on most linux systems to already resolve to 127.0.0.1, so adding the record to /etc/hosts would no longer be needed.
Of course this can be changed in the env file, but I think this is a more useful default setup.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the environment file and docker-compose configuration that define the development hostname and the /etc/hosts setup. Check how XXX.local is currently used, then update the default to XXX.localhost while preserving the environment override. Done means the default development URL resolves without requiring an /etc/hosts record.
