RAILS TIGHTENS MIME TYPE API, PUSHES RACTOR SAFETY FORWARD

Rails is deprecating three internal MIME constants that leak mutable state, forcing a clean migration to the public API while the framework quietly hardens itself for concurrent Ractor execution.

The framework shipped deprecations for Mime::SET, Mime::LOOKUP, and Mime::EXTENSION_LOOKUP [1], constants that expose internal registries directly and create attack surface for accidental mutation. The good news: everything these constants do is already available through Mime.symbols, Mime.extensions, and Mime::Type.lookup methods, so the migration path is straightforward [1]. Meanwhile, Rails is making systematic progress on Ractor safety across two fronts. AttributeMethods now freezes its internal aliases and patterns by default, and InheritableOptions ditches the shareable-unsafe default proc that was blocking Ractor compatibility [2] [3]. These aren't flashy changes, but they're the infrastructure work that makes Ractor-safe Rails applications possible without constantly fighting the framework.

Action items

→ Audit codebase for direct Mime::SET, Mime::LOOKUP, or Mime::EXTENSION_LOOKUP usage; migrate to public API methods before Rails 8.1 rails/rails [plan]
→ Monitor Ractor safety PRs in Rails; these changes unlock the path to truly concurrent applications rails/rails [monitor]
