Research direction
Start by reading the context in issue #335 and locating how NAT mappings represent their IP addresses. Define the intended validation boundaries for a newtype and confirm that NAT mappings use it consistently; done means invalid IP addresses cannot enter those mappings and existing behavior remains covered by tests.
