}Bulk delete hosts
Deletes multiple hosts in a single request. The request body should be an array of host IDs to delete. Fails if any host has an associated daemon.
Rescan a host
Starts a one-shot scan of this host's addresses and nothing else, answering "is this host still there, and is its data current?" without sweeping the whole subnet. The scan runs on the daemon that last discovered this host — evidence it can reach the address — and only if that daemon still has an interface on a subnet containing one of the host's IPs. That constraint is what lets the daemon ARP the target rather than fall back to a TCP probe, which would report a live but firewalled host as unresponsive. When it can't be met the request is refused with the specific reason rather than run at lower fidelity. Returns the session, which streams progress over `/api/v1/discovery/stream` like any other scan. A `Queued` phase means the daemon is busy; it will start when the running scan finishes.
