`trellis vm start`: Updating hosts isn't recognised until after DNS cache flush or manual hosts edit

[robrecord]

Version

1.14.0

What did you expect to happen?

Updating /etc/hosts file (sudo may be required, see `trellis vm sudoers` for more details)

After this line the site should be accessible in the browser.

What actually happens?

Even though the hosts file is properly updated, the browser cannot reach the local site.

If I flush the DNS it works, or if I sudo vi /etc/hosts and save without editing.

Steps to reproduce

trellis vm start
Open example.test

System info

macOS 15.4.1 (24E263)
