So, a new day, new thoughts.

Let's sum it up first:

You have /128 address given you by your router.

And, you have your usual /64 route from /64 address procured by RA.

But, you have /60 route with the gateway address, which should serve the
purpose of connecting to *other* IPv6 addresses from /60 block that's
assigned to you. Unusual, but probably OK.

These are your usual link-local routes.

And that's fishy. Why is this route is designated as "proto static", i.e.
added by hand? Kernel RA does not work like this.


Assuming that your router is configured correctly (i.e. the way AT&T
want it to be configured), that points us to the whatever your host is
using for the network configuration.

So let's put it aside for the moment. A quick test like this should
clear things a bit (everything that's in here requires root):

ip netns add test
ip link add link enp2s0 name net0 type macvlan mode private
ip link set net0 netns test
ip netns exec test ip link set lo up
ip netns exec test ip link set net0 up
sleep 120
ip netns exec test ip a l
ip netns exec test ip -6 ro l
ip netns exec test traceroute -n 2a02:16a8:dc41:100::233
ip netns del test

Basically, that creates a separate network namespace, clones your wired
NIC into it, waits for the kernel RA autoconfiguration to kick in, and
destroys it.
