Advertise the macOS Computer Name to Switchify Android #558

Description

@enaboapps

Summary

Publish the friendly macOS Computer Name through the existing BLE advertisement and status payload so Android can distinguish Macs by their configured names.

Acceptance criteria

  • macOS resolves its localized Computer Name at runtime startup.
  • Blank or unavailable names fall back to Switchify PC.
  • The resolved name is used in the advertisement local name and status displayName.
  • Windows behavior, protocol version, desktop identity, pairing, and storage remain unchanged.
  • The name is never logged or included in diagnostics.
  • Automated tests cover Unicode names and fallback behavior.

Coordination

Android must consume the platform-aware status name; tracked in the linked switchify-android issue.
