Machine-scoped identity, `"<osUuid>-<id>:client"`, where `osUuid` is a hash of the OS machine id.

**Signature:**

```typescript
readonly hostName: string;
```

## Remarks

This is not a network hostname. The `:client` suffix is what makes the default `cleanupFilter` of `'*:client'` match client queues. In `singleQueue` mode it is inherited from the shared queue's name instead.
