Rails is systematically removing unused internals across Journey, RedisCacheStore, and test utilities, signaling a major cleanup push before the next major version.

Four separate merges hit rails/rails overnight, all focused on pruning deprecated code paths [1] [2] [3] [4]. The Journey router lost public methods that haven't been used externally, RedisCacheStore's DEFAULT_REDIS_OPTIONS constant is now flagged for removal [4], and Cookies::HTTP_HEADER is being deprecated [3]. These aren't breaking changes yet, but they're breadcrumbs leading to a leaner Rails in the next major release. On the cache front, solid_cache pulled in actionpack 8.1.2.1 [7], which includes two Active Support security fixes (CVE-2026-33176 and CVE-2026-33170). Solid_cache also bumped nokogiri to 1.19.4 [5] addressing a possible invalid memory read, and concurrent-ruby to 1.3.7 [8], which ships three security fixes. The test suite for solid_cache is being synced to work with Rails main [6], suggesting the cache layer is staying in sync with upstream changes.
