Local Development with Multiple `.test` Domains and Custom Ports using Nginx + dnsmasq

Introduction

When working on multiple local projects, each running on different ports, it becomes inconvenient to remember port numbers and manually update /etc/hosts for every new project.
Our goal was to make development feel like production — where each project is accessed via its own domain — while keeping the setup flexible, simple, and easy to maintain.
