The ping wrapper only asked whether the *target* had an AAAA record, never whether this machine could reach over IPv6, so `ping ya.ru` ran ping6 and died with "No route to host" while IPv4 worked fine. Checking for a default v6 route is not sufficient either: this Mac has one while holding only ::1 and fe80:: link-locals. So require a global unicast address (2000::/3) as well as the route, which is the condition that actually fails here. ping4 is now platform-split rather than branching internally, since macOS ping rejects -4: macOS ~/.local/bin/ping (wrapper) and ~/.local/bin/ping4 -> /sbin/ping Linux a fish function running `ping -4` .chezmoiignore gates each side so neither lands where it cannot work.
