RAILS HOUSEKEEPING: TYPOS FIXED ACROSS TEST SUITE

Rails merged a cleanup pass fixing spelling errors in test descriptions—small wins that keep the codebase sharp.

The Rails team landed a focused PR [1] that corrected spelling mistakes scattered through the test suite, including `reqiure` to `require` in ActiveSupport::EnvConfigurationTest and `explicity` to `explicitly` in ActiveStorage::NamedVariantTest [1]. These are pure documentation fixes within test names—no logic changes, no behavioral impact. The commit also picked up a changelog typo [2] while maintaining momentum. All quiet on the feature front; this is the kind of steady maintenance that keeps a 20-year-old codebase readable.
