RAILS CLEANS UP FORM HELPERS WHILE RACTOR SUPPORT EXPANDS

Rails merged a refactor that eliminates duplication in ColorField rendering, while core work continues on Ractor integration for multi-threaded applications.

The ColorField refactor [1] [2] removes redundant value-setting logic by introducing a fallback_value method that TextField subclasses can override. This is clean housekeeping that reduces complexity in the form helper layer without changing behavior. Meanwhile, three pieces of work are moving through the pipeline: ActiveSupport::Ractors.on_main [3] is adding a proxy for delegating variable assignment to the main Ractor, addressing a real pain point for non-main Ractor code. ActionView::Template::Sources::File [4] is being eagerly loaded to ensure templates render without lazy-load surprises on first render. And a fix [5] now skips unnecessary queries for grouped calculations on contradictory relations, a subtle but measurable performance win. Over on tailwindcss-rails [6], GitHub Actions dependencies got a bump including checkout 7.0.0. Nothing breaking here, just keeping the CI pipeline current.

Action items

→ Review ColorField changes if you maintain custom form helpers that extend TextField rails/rails [plan]
→ Watch Ractors.on_main PR if you're using Ractor-based concurrency in production rails/rails [monitor]
→ Update GitHub Actions if you're using rails/tailwindcss-rails in your CI rails/tailwindcss-rails [plan]
