These tests do not require installed kernel modules or root privileges. The
sanitizer runtime needs an environment that permits its process inspection.
+The runner has six suites: `dhcpv6`, `radius`, `vrf`, `lcp`, `mempool`, and
+`log_line`. With no names it attempts all six. The DHCPv6 fixture currently
+refers to the removed `conf_dns_count` variable, and the runner does not link
+the `ipv6_dns.c` implementation now used by the reply builder. That fixture
+and its build command must be updated before a full run can pass.
+
+The other five suites can be run explicitly while that regression is being fixed:
+
+```bash
+sh tests/unit/run_safeguards.sh build radius vrf lcp mempool log_line
+```

+A successful subset run does not validate the DHCPv6 safeguards. The
