Previous mwdd implementations managed the system hosts file in an automatic way for users.
Browsers already mainly resolve the *.localhost domains correctly.
Though command line tools etc do not, and need this extra system poke.
The sync file was https://github.com/addshore/mediawiki-docker-dev/blob/v1/hosts-sync in the v1 branch

Which command-line tools specifically? I believe some of them are starting to support this.
As a workaround, using Curl as example, one can use either of these to address the dev wiki:
curl http://localhost:8080 -H 'Host: default.mw.mwdd.localhost' curl http://default.mw.mwdd.localhost:8080 --connect-to '::localhost'
This could be anything from cli tools like curl, to other random packages and components that folks may choose to run on their systems.
I'm going to try and keep this optional etc as we ended up doing with the old mediawiki-docker-dev
