<#
.SYNOPSIS
    Prevents accidental Geo-Failovers for FCI (Failover Cluster Instances).
    
.DESCRIPTION
    This script acts as a "Safety Latch" before any patching or maintenance event.
    It identifies if a SQL Instance is an FCI or an AG.
    CRITICALLY: It compares the IP Subnet of the Current Node vs. the Target Node.
    If the Subnets differ (implying a WAN link) and the instance is an FCI, it returns a HARD FAIL.
