Research direction
Start by reproducing the IPv6 connection attempt with wget https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/channel-rust-stable.toml.sha256, then trace the rustup download path involved in fetching that file. Done means rustup can retrieve the static.rust-lang.org resource successfully over IPv6 on macOS.
