Subject: configure computer and host names

When configuring identifier names, we use interactive prompts to ask the
user for the computer name and hostname. We retrieve the current computer
name via `scutil` and dynamically calculate a standardized hostname default.

For better UX, we use the `read -i` option to pre-fill these values,
allowing the user to simply confirm the defaults or edit them easily.

Note: The `-i` option requires *Bash 4.0+*. Although macOS ships with
Bash 3.2, this script runs after the Homebrew bundle installation (which
includes the up-to-date bash package), ensuring the necessary shell version
is available.
