Modern devices increasingly use randomized ("Private WiFi Address") MACs,
which are locally administered and have no real OUI, so the MAC-prefix
vendor lookup returns nothing. Such devices still advertise distinctive
mDNS service types, which we now use to deduce their vendor.
- Extend the mDNS parser to also capture PTR service types alongside
A-record hostnames.
- Add a service-type -> vendor mapping (data/mdns-service-vendor.json) and
a service_vendor_finder, using canonical vendor names so device-type
resolution still chains.
- Add utils::network::is_locally_administered to detect randomized MACs.
- In the mDNS scanner, fall back to service-based deduction only when the
OUI lookup is empty and the MAC is locally administered.
- Group the three finders under a new data module.
- Preserve a known vendor (and its derived device_type) when a later
sighting cannot deduce one, and suppress the spurious "vendor changed"
notification in that case.

Adds --llm flag to update_mac_vendors to classify unmatched vendors via
Claude Haiku 4.5, and --skip-download to reuse existing vendor DB.
Adds the anthropic Python package to the Nix dev shell. Updates CLAUDE.md
with the new script command.

Introduces backend/data/update_mac_vendors, an executable Python 3 script
that downloads the latest MAC vendor database from maclookup.app and
generates vendor-device-type.json — a mapping of vendor names to device
types (phone, laptop, tablet, server, tv, printer, network_appliance,
home_security, home_appliance, watch, pc, gaming_console) used for
auto-assigning device type on first detection.
