The preferredAuthUrl function previously compared raw URL hostnames against bracketed strings like '[::1]' and '[::ffff:7f...'. Depending on URL parser implementations and IPv6 formats, bracket presence and IPv6 string representations (such as ::ffff:127.0.0.1 or expanded zero segments) could bypass the loopback check. This commit introduces an isLoopbackHost helper that strips outer brackets and checks IPv4/IPv6 loopback, unspecified, IPv4-mapped, and IPv4-compatible IP forms, preventing loopback URLs from being selected as authentication endpoints.

Summary
Fixes an issue where IPv6 loopback and IPv4-mapped loopback URLs (e.g.
[::1],[::ffff:127.0.0.1],[0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1]) could bypass loopback filtering inpreferredAuthUrl.Details
\x60preferredAuthUrl\x60 parses CLI terminal output to extract valid OAuth login verification URLs while filtering out local listening servers.
Previously, the code compared
new URL(url).hostnamedirectly against literal strings like"[::1]"or prefix"[::ffff:7f". Differences in bracket representation, IPv4-mapped notation (127.0.0.1vs7f00:1), and expanded zero-segments meant certain loopback URLs were not filtered out.Fix
