Summary of Changes

Hello @rochaferraz, I'm Gemini Code Assist[^1]! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request adds a new Python utility script that continuously monitors and displays detailed information about mDNS services on the local network. It is particularly useful for discovering Thread Border Routers but can be configured to scan for any mDNS service, providing real-time updates on their network addresses and associated properties.

Highlights

  • New mDNS Browser Script: Introduces a new Python script, script/mdns-browser.py, designed to continuously scan and resolve mDNS services on the local network.
  • Detailed Service Information: The script provides comprehensive details for discovered services, including all associated IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, port numbers, and parsed TXT records.
  • Dynamic Service Monitoring: It actively monitors for services, clearly indicating newly discovered (✅) and updated (🔄) services with distinct icons in the terminal output.
  • Configurable Service Type: While defaulting to scanning for _meshcop._udp.local. services (relevant for Thread Border Routers), the script allows users to specify other mDNS service types via a command-line argument.
