The code incorrectly checks for an IPv6 loopback literal (e.g., checking if byte 15 is 1) before checking whether the address is an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address. Mapped IPv4 loopback addresses (like `::ffff:127.0.0.1`) also end with a 1 (from `.1`) and will prematurely match the IPv6 literal check, failing loopback validation. Ensure `IN6_IS_ADDR_V4MAPPED` is ch
