Description

We currently ignore version specification for IP. The user can test IPv6, but they do so via any IPv6 addresses they pass in on the command line, not via YAML specification.

We should add support for YAML-specified IPv6 (and v4, of course) version. Verify we produce an error if the YAML file specifies a v6 version, but no v6 address is provided.

Research direction

Locate the YAML specification parsing and command-line IP address handling in the verifier, then review existing IPv4 and IPv6 tests or examples. Add coverage for YAML requests specifying IPv4 and IPv6 versions, including the missing-IPv6-address error case. Done means YAML-specified versions are honored and invalid IPv6 specifications fail clearly.
