Subject: networking: expose Ollama and mDNS on Wi-Fi LAN

Serve Ollama on kusanagi's Wi-Fi LAN while removing the blanket tailscale0 firewall trust so tailnet traffic follows explicit host firewall rules instead of inheriting every listening service.

Add shared LAN networking for both hosts: allow ping, publish and resolve .local names with Avahi, and scope mDNS to each machine's declared Wi-Fi interface.
