// alwaysBlockedNetworks are the ranges no configuration can
// open: the link-local blocks and the cloud instance metadata
// endpoints that live outside them. Reaching one is credential
// or user-data theft rather than delivery to an internal
// service, so a supplied CIDR that covers such an address still
// leaves it blocked.
//
// Inclusion criterion — an address belongs here only if BOTH
// hold, and every entry below satisfies both:
//
// 1. It is a fixed address assigned by the provider, or a
// range reserved by IANA — never one the operator chose.
// That is what makes a host route free: it cannot collide
// with anything the operator runs.
// 2. Reaching it discloses credentials, or user data or
// bootstrap material — something granting onward access, or
// not cheaply rotated.
//
// Both halves are load-bearing, so use them to refuse a
// candidate and say why. An endpoint disclosing only the
// operator's own inventory (instance id, region, disks, NICs)
// fails (2): letting a delivery target reach the operator's own
// infrastructure is the feature ALLOWED_EGRESS_CIDRS exists to
// provide. But (2) is not "IAM credentials only" either —
// fd00:42::42 serves /user_data and /conf rather than tokens,
// and user data routinely carries bootstrap secrets. An address
// stays out if it fails (1) however well it clears (2): a host
// route inside a block operators really assign from, such as
// 10.0.0.0/8, can collide with a real internal service and
// forfeits the justification in (1).
//
// A publicly routable unicast address does not belong here even
// when it clears both halves. Nothing in this list can be
// reopened, so putting a public address here leaves the operator
// no escape hatch at all — the condition ALLOWED_EGRESS_CIDRS
// exists to remove. Default-block it in blockedNetworks instead,
// which an allowlist can override.
//
// This is a criterion, not an enumeration of every metadata
// address in existence.
//
// Every entry is either already in blockedNetworks — this list is
// what makes it unconditional — or an alternate encoding of
// 169.254.169.254 that Contains does not match against
// 169.254.0.0/16. Every entry outside the link-local blocks is a
// /32 or /128 host route, so blocking it costs an operator
// nothing else on the surrounding network.
//
// Derive membership from the address, never from the vendor's
// prose. Several providers call these endpoints "link-local" or
// even "localhost" in their own documentation while the address
// is a ULA outside fe80::/10, so a set derived from the docs
// comes out wrong.
