ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This cross-layer runtime fix changes how discovered and saved routes are classified and displayed, including persisted route metadata. Unresolved correctness concerns cover stale Tailscale labels and IPv4-mapped VPN addresses, so the behavior needs human review. Not approved because:

- Around line 68-69: Update the VPN address example in the remote-access
guidance to specify that the VPN label applies to shared-range addresses in
100.64.0.0/10; clarify that other VPN-assigned addresses, such as 10.0.0.1, may
be labeled LAN.

- Line 101: Update the shared-address helper around parseIpv4Address to also
parse IPv4-mapped IPv6 hosts using the existing mapped-address parser, so mapped
addresses in 100.64.0.0/10 are classified as VPN. Update the helper’s
description to include IPv4-mapped addresses.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Classify IPv4-mapped shared addresses as VPN.
If a route uses an IPv4-mapped URL such as http://[::ffff:6465:6667]:3773/, this helper returns false for the mapped 100.101.102.103 address. isPrivateNetworkHost recognizes that form, so connectionRouteKind labels and ranks the route as LAN instead of VPN. Parse IPv4-mapped addresses here too, and update the helper’s description.
Proposed change
- * An IPv4 address in 100.64.0.0/10. Tailscale, Cloudflare WARP and Mesh, other
+ * An IPv4 or IPv4-mapped address in 100.64.0.0/10. Tailscale, Cloudflare WARP and Mesh, other

🟡 Medium connection/routes.ts:292
A saved route keeps its tailscale label after its address disappears from the server's report, so connectionRouteKind continues to classify the stale route as Tailscale. The !reported.has(...) branch returns the route unchanged; clear its network mark based on the current report while preserving the saved route.

…ilscale Routes were labeled Tailscale for any address in 100.64.0.0/10, which Cloudflare WARP and Mesh, other VPNs, and carrier NAT share. The server now reports an address as tailnet only when it sits on Tailscale's own interface, learned routes remember that, and any other address in the range shows as VPN.

…label `t3 pair --host <tailnet IP>` prints a numeric link, so many Tailscale routes are saved by IP. The server's tailnet answer now marks those routes too, not only the ones the client learned. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

A user running Cloudflare Mesh saw their Mesh route labeled "Tailscale" in the route list. T3 Code called any address from
100.64.0.0to100.127.255.255Tailscale. Tailscale shares that range with Cloudflare WARP and Mesh, Proton VPN, other VPNs, and carrier NAT, so the address alone proves nothing.Now a route shows "Tailscale" only with real proof, and other addresses in that range show "VPN".
tailnetonly when the address sits on Tailscale's own network interface:tailscale0on Linux,Tailscaleon Windows, or on macOS theutunNthat also carries a Tailscale IPv6 address (fd7a:115c:a1e0::/48). Other addresses in the range are reported aslan. The wire format is unchanged.tailnetfor its address, and updates when the server changes its answer. That covers routes found automatically and routes paired by a numeric Tailscale IP, which is whatt3 pair --host <tailnet IP>prints. A route also counts as Tailscale when its host is a.ts.netname or a Tailscale IPv6 address. Any other address in the range is labeled "VPN" (lock shield icon on mobile) and keeps Tailscale's place in the route order.Related: #15753 fixes the same mixup in the desktop pairing-link code. That's a separate code path, and the two don't overlap.
