Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported failures in socket.getfqdn and socket.gethostbyname on macOS and compare their behavior with other platforms. The issue mentions no files or tests, so locate the socket implementation and existing platform-specific tests. Done means both functions work correctly on macOS without regressing other platforms.
