Recommended action: Connect to 127.0.0.1 explicitly, or make the server listen on both stacks; or set `--dns-result-order=ipv4first` / `dns.setDefaultResultOrder('ipv4first')`. On Node >=20 (and 18.18+), net autoSelectFamily tries IPv6 and IPv4 addresses in sequence, which helps when both are returned.
Option: Use 127.0.0.1 or ipv4first result order [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Server binds IPv4 only
Steps:
1. Replace 'localhost' with '127.0.0.1' in the client URL, or
2. Start node with --dns-result-order=ipv4first, or call dns.setDefaultResultOrder('ipv4first') early
3. Alternatively bind the server to '::' (dual stack) or both addresses
Expected: Connection succeeds over IPv4
