Problem

First run of terraform-tailscale-policy action=import-acl failed at the data-source phase:

Error: Failed to fetch devices
  with data.tailscale_device.physical["kai-desktop-tower"]
  could not find device withname="kai-desktop-tower"

The tailscale_device data source's name argument matches the device's full MagicDNS FQDN (e.g. kai-desktop-tower.tailXXXX.ts.net), not the short hostname. The short name belongs on the hostname argument instead.

Change

terraform/tailscale-policy/main.tf - switch the data "tailscale_device" "physical" lookup from name = each.key to hostname = each.key. Comment updated to explain the FQDN vs hostname split.

Also commits the auto-generated terraform/tailscale-policy/.terraform.lock.hcl (provider pin) that terraform init produced, matching the sibling tailscale modules.
