Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the aws-cdk EC2 handling for IPv4 CIDR blocks, then trace how those references are used by Security Groups and egress records. Done means the Amazon-provided IPv6 /56 block can be referenced in both places without regressing IPv4 behavior.
