Lowercase the explicit host before the tailnet check.

An explicit IPv6 host typed in mixed case, such as FD7A:115C:A1E0::1, passes isTailnetHost, which lowercases internally. The unchanged string is then looked up in tailscaleAddresses, whose entries come from the interface list in lowercase. The lookup misses, so the endpoint can be labeled lan instead of tailnet. A client that selects routes by kind may then skip this route.

Lowercasing the host before the classification makes the spelling match the interface addresses. IPv6 hex digits are case-insensitive, so the URL remains valid. IPv4 and hostname inputs are not affected. Add a row for an uppercase explicit IPv6 host to the existing resolveBoundEndpoints case table.

Suggested fix 

-    : [input.host!].filter(
+    : [input.host!.toLowerCase()].filter(

Review comment at @apps/server/src/environment/DirectEndpoints.ts at line 84:
Update explicit-host handling in resolveBoundEndpoints so IPv6 addresses are lowercased before address classification and tailscaleAddresses lookup; preserve existing behavior for IPv4 addresses and hostnames, and add a case verifying that an uppercase explicit IPv6 host is classified as tailnet.

🟠 High environment/DirectEndpoints.ts:87

An explicitly bound IPv6 tailnet address can be returned as kind: "lan" even when it identifies an address in tailscaleAddresses; for example, fd7a:115c:a1e0:0:0:0:0:1 does not string-match fd7a:115c:a1e0::1. This misclassification can make client-runtime skip learning the endpoint when plain HTTP is disallowed; canonicalize both addresses before checking membership.
