RAILS TIGHTENS ASYNC JOB API TO BLOCK BREAKAGE

DestroyAssociationAsyncJob now accepts **options to future-proof extensions without forcing users into upgrade hell.
Rails merged a targeted fix to DestroyAssociationAsyncJob that introduces a **options argument in the perform method [1][2][3]. This pattern lets Rails add new job configuration down the line without breaking existing applications that have already enqueued this job. It's the kind of defensive API design that prevents the silent failures and version lock-in that plague background job upgrades. The change lands quietly but solves a real problem: every time Rails wanted to extend job capabilities before, it risked orphaning jobs in queues that still expected the old signature. This move was discussed extensively in prior threads and shipped with buy-in from core [1]. No action required on your end, but if you're managing custom async jobs, this is the pattern worth copying.
