assertNotPrivateUrl() compared the URL-normalized hostname against
dotted-quad patterns, so IPv4-mapped IPv6 hosts slipped through: the URL
parser rewrites http://[::ffff:127.0.0.1]/ to hostname [::ffff:7f00:1],
which matches none of the loopback or link-local rules while the socket
layer still connects to 127.0.0.1. The same held for
[::ffff:169.254.169.254], reaching cloud instance metadata.

Unwrap IPv4-mapped hosts back to dotted-quad form before matching, and
block the IPv6 unspecified address [::] alongside its 0.0.0.0 twin.
RFC1918 LAN addresses stay allowed, including their mapped form.

Adds unit coverage for assertNotPrivateUrl, which previously had none.

The fix is correct and complete for the ::ffff:0:0/96 range, cannot over-block, keeps mapped RFC1918 allowed, and leaves callers unchanged. Coverage proven by reverting common.ts to 497b528: 2 of the 4 new tests fail pre-fix and all pass at head. Encoding sweep verified empirically (decimal, short-form, octal, hex, trailing-dot, expanded IPv6, IDNA forms all normalize into already-matched patterns; zone ids rejected by the URL parser). Gate from a frozen copy of the exact head: ci, typecheck and build pass; lint fails only on pre-existing repo-wide formatting that reproduces at base; the documented test command cannot run because the sandbox denies socket binds, but the unit suite run directly is 9 passed 0 failed. Four non-regression findings filed inline, all pre-existing gaps in the same control. Recommend folding the first (trailing-dot localhost is allowed) into this PR. 2 files changed, +76/-1. Risk low."} --> Agent peer handoff `3ed14f43f858c66d3e4199be2a62290a` (complete).
