Security Agent pentest works via VPC Config even when CLI domain verification returns UNREACHABLE
Tried to pentest a private endpoint (*.compute.internal) with Security Agent. Running verify-target-domain returned UNREACHABLE — HTTP_ROUTE verification is performed from AWS public infrastructure, so it can't reach private DNS.
Thought the test was blocked, but running start-pentest-job with --vpc-config passed PREFLIGHT successfully. CloudWatch Logs showed:

Completed pentest test environment setupThe CLI's verify-target-domain (public access) and PREFLIGHT's VPC-internal verification are separate mechanisms. When using VPC Config, the CLI domain verification status being UNREACHABLE doesn't block test execution — as long as the Target Domain is registered.
