## Summary by CodeRabbit
- New Features
- GitOps manual labels can now reference hosts by Fleet host ID in
addition to hostname, hardware serial, or UUID.
- GitOps YAML/JSON accepts integers for host IDs; numeric IDs are
handled seamlessly alongside strings.
- Validation
- Stronger input validation for label hosts: only strings or integers
are allowed.
- Clear error returned for invalid types (e.g., floats) in hosts lists.
