RAILS GOES RACTOR-SAFE WITH NEW APPLICATION SHAREABLE MODE

Rails is shipping the foundational work to make applications Ractor-safe, with a new `ractorize!` method that prepares your entire app for multi-threaded concurrency without the GIL.

The framework is systematically eliminating mutation patterns that block Ractor compatibility. The biggest move: a new `Rails::Application#ractorize!` method [1] that makes your app shareable across Ractor boundaries, though it comes with real constraints for now (eager loading required, no Action Cable, null cache). Three complementary commits land simultaneously to support this: deprecating the ActionController::Renderer::RENDERERS constant [2], allowing deprecated object proxies to change targets post-initialization [3], and stopping mutation of the renderers set itself [4]. This is the infrastructure layer. You're not forced to use Ractor yet, but if you've been waiting for framework-level support, this is it. The work also makes ActionController renderers Ractor-safe [5] by eliminating the object mutations that were blocking the entire pattern. Secondary updates across the ecosystem: Thor bumped its GitHub Actions dependencies [6] [7], concurrent-ruby shipped three security fixes [8], and Tailwind CSS updated to 4.3.1 [9].

Action items

→ Audit ActionController::Renderer::RENDERERS usage if you've added custom renderers rails/rails [plan]
→ Bump concurrent-ruby to 1.3.7 for security fixes rails/rails-html-sanitizer [monitor]
