 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Added
+- **Full IPv6 support across the stack** (#201). IPv6 is now first-class
+  alongside IPv4 across detection, validation, anonymity comparison,
+  SOCKS5 proxying, and `[v6]:port` provider parsing.
+  - `Resolver.host_is_ip()` accepts both IPv4 and IPv6 literals
+    (loopback `::1`, documentation prefix `2001:db8::1`, IPv4-mapped
+    `::ffff:192.0.2.1`, link-local with zone IDs `fe80::1%eth0`).
+  - `Resolver.get_real_ext_ip()` returns RFC 5952 canonical form and
+    accepts IPv6 responses from upstream IP-detection services. Adds
+    `https://api64.ipify.org/` to the default endpoints so proxybroker
+    works on IPv6-only networks.
+  - `proxybroker/utils.py`: new `canonicalize_ip(s) -> str | None`
+    helper exposes the RFC 5952 canonical form via stdlib `ipaddress`.
+    `get_all_ip()` rewritten to extract IPv4 substrings (legacy
+    contract) plus IPv6 candidates validated through `ipaddress`,
+    returning canonical form so equivalent encodings collapse to a
+    single set element.
+  - `IPv6BracketedPortPattern` and the new `find_proxy_pairs(text)`
+    helper extract `[v6]:port` proxy pairs from text (including
+    link-local zone IDs like `[fe80::1%eth0]:8080`). Wired into the
+    public `Provider.find_proxies` (kept out of the lower-level
+    `_find_proxies` raw-regex helper so subclasses that pipe its
+    output through `b64decode`/custom decoders aren't fed
+    already-normalized `(host, port)` tuples) and into
+    `Broker._load`'s file/raw string parsing so every provider feed
+    can surface IPv6 proxies. Bracketed IPv6 spans are masked from
+    the IPv4 line regex in both paths to prevent IPv4-mapped IPv6
+    addresses (`[::ffff:1.2.3.4]:8080`) from spawning a phantom IPv4
+    entry.
+  - `_get_anonymity_lvl` and `Judge.check` now use canonical-form set
+    membership instead of raw substring matching, so v6 leaks are
+    correctly classified regardless of how the judge formatted the
+    address (uppercase, expanded with leading zeros, with or without
+    `::` compression).
+  - `Proxy(host=...)` accepts IPv6 literals; `as_text()`, `__repr__()`
+    and `Proxy.log` bracket IPv6 hosts per RFC 3986 § 3.2.2 so the
+    output is unambiguous.
+  - `Socks5Ngtr` emits `ATYP=0x04` + 16-byte address for IPv6
+    destinations (`ATYP=0x01` + 4-byte for IPv4 unchanged), unblocking
+    SOCKS5 connections to IPv6 origins. Reply ATYP read from the
+    *response* (not the request) per RFC 1928 § 6 — dual-stack
+    proxies may bind a different family. SOCKS4 stays IPv4-only by
+    spec (the SOCKS4 protocol predates IPv6 and only defines a 4-byte
+    address field; ATYP=0x04 is a SOCKS5/RFC-1928-only construct).
+  - **Happy Eyeballs DNS** (RFC 8305 § 3) in `Resolver.resolve()`.
+    When the caller doesn't pin `qtype` or `family`, A and AAAA
+    queries fire in parallel; the first non-empty answer wins; the
+    slower task is cancelled. Callers that explicitly pass
+    `qtype="A"` or `family=socket.AF_INET[/INET6]` get the
+    single-family path, preserving the legacy A-only contract.
+- **Modern type hints** on `canonicalize_ip`, `find_proxy_pairs`,
+  `_format_host_port` (PEP 604 union syntax). Better IDE/mypy
+  ergonomics for downstream consumers.
+
+### Changed
+- `find_proxy_pairs(text)` now canonicalises both IPv4 AND IPv6
+  entries (#201). IPv4 canonical form equals identity, so legacy
+  v4-only feeds see no behavior change — the contract is just
+  consistent now: every returned `(ip, port)` has a canonical IP.
+- `Socks4Ngtr.negotiate(ip=v6, ...)` raises `BadResponseError(
+  "SOCKS4 protocol does not support IPv6 destinations")` instead
+  of a cryptic `OSError` from `inet_aton` (#201). Logs point users
+  at SOCKS5 for IPv6.
+- `Resolver.host_is_ip` legacy behavior preserved for IPv4 with leading
+  zeros (e.g. `127.0.0.001`); accepted by the wrapper even though
+  CPython 3.9.5+ rejects them under CVE-2021-29921. Documented in the
+  docstring; some provider feeds in the wild still emit that form.
+- `judge.py:Judge.check` and `checker.py:_get_anonymity_lvl` now log
+  the boolean visibility result (rather than the substring expression)
+  for symmetry with how the v6 set-membership comparison is done.
+
+### Removed
+- **`IPv6Pattern` 700-character regex** (#201) and its
+  `# nosemgrep: regex_dos` suppression. The pattern carried many
+  capture groups so `re.findall` returned tuples (not strings) and
+  IPv6 entries silently never matched. Replaced by the narrow
+  `_IPV6_CANDIDATE_PATTERN` tokenizer + stdlib `ipaddress` validator.

 ### Protocol Priority
 Deterministic order: SOCKS5 → SOCKS4 → CONNECT:80 → CONNECT:25 → HTTPS → HTTP
 
+### IPv6 Support
+First-class alongside IPv4 across the stack (PR for #201). Key invariants:
+- **Canonical form is RFC 5952** (`str(ipaddress.ip_address(...))`):
+  lowercase, leading-zeros stripped, longest zero-run as `::`. Use
+  `proxybroker.utils.canonicalize_ip(s) -> str | None` at every
+  boundary where IPs cross from text into comparison.
+- **IPv4 contracts are preserved**. `IPPattern.findall` still handles
+  the legacy substring extraction (e.g. `127.0.0.1` from `127.0.0.1:80`).
+  Canonical form for IPv4 is identity, so set membership behavior is
+  unchanged for the IPv4 path.
+- **IPv6 in URI authority MUST be bracketed** (RFC 3986). `Proxy.as_text`,
+  `Proxy.__repr__`, and proxy-list output all bracket v6 hosts.
+- **SOCKS5 `ATYP=0x04`** for IPv6 destinations; SOCKS4 stays IPv4-only
+  by spec (no v6 ATYP in RFC 1928).
+- **Provider feeds**: `[v6]:port` is parsed via `IPv6BracketedPortPattern`
+  + stdlib validation. Helper `find_proxy_pairs(text)` returns
+  `[(ip_canonical, port), ...]` for both v4 and v6.

 ### Signal Handler Cleanup
 `Broker.stop()` properly removes signal handlers to prevent memory leaks
