 registers under at the broker (`‹name›:‹jobType›`) and how it shows up in

+/**
+ * Enable Happy-Eyeballs (RFC 8305) dual-stack connect for the engine client so a
+ * worker whose engine host resolves IPv6-first with an *unreachable* v6 address
+ * (macOS mDNS `fe80::` link-local, a stray/misordered AAAA, an IPv6-advertised
+ * host) transparently races and falls back to IPv4 — matching `curl`/`fetch` —
+ * instead of connecting to the dead address and failing the activation / `--auto`
+ * engine read with `fetch failed` / `write EPIPE` / `UND_ERR_CONNECT_TIMEOUT`
+ * (jwulf/c8ctl-plugin-nano#139).
+ *
+ * We set Node's PROCESS-WIDE `net` default rather than an instance option so the
+ * fix covers the *class*, not one call site: BOTH transports the worker harness
+ * uses inherit it — the `@camunda8` SDK client's `activateJobs` (its undici
+ * dispatcher connects via `net`) AND the raw-`fetch` `--auto` reconcile / initial
+ * engine reads. Node ≥20 already defaults this on, but older runtimes — and any
+ * build where the client's dispatcher inherits a `false` default — leave it off;
+ * the reporter's repro shows the failing "SDK default path" is exactly
+ * `setDefaultAutoSelectFamily(false)`, and asserting `true` here is what fixes it.
+ * The attempt timeout bounds the per-address race so a dead `fe80::` yields to
+ * IPv4 quickly (RFC 8305 default of 250ms) instead of stalling the connect.
+ *
+ * Fail-open and idempotent: a runtime without the API (or any throw) is swallowed
+ * so Happy-Eyeballs — an optimisation — can never block a worker from starting.
+ *
+ * @param {{ net?: object, attemptTimeoutMs?: number }} [opts] injection seam for tests
+ * @returns {boolean} true if the net default was (re)asserted to Happy-Eyeballs
