Purpose

The macOS section of the wildcard DNS setup instructions in README.md was missing the actual dnsmasq installation and configuration steps. It jumped straight from setting up the resolver file to testing with ping, leaving out the critical steps of installing dnsmasq and configuring it to resolve *.intercode.test to 127.0.0.1. This would leave someone following the instructions confused about why the ping test doesn't work.

Also cleaned up a small inconsistency where Linux and Windows sections described the macOS resolver as supporting "wildcard domain resolution" — it actually does host-specific resolution via resolver files, not wildcards. macOS's resolver mechanism sends queries for a given domain to a specified nameserver, and dnsmasq is still the piece doing the wildcard matching.

Testing

Verified the instructions are complete and accurate by reading through the full setup flow.
