Defer ActiveJob enqueue callbacks until after commit when enqueue_after_transaction_commit enabled
Active Job’s around_enqueue callbacks are deferred until after the database transaction commits, but only when the enqueue_after_transaction_commit option is enabled. This ensures that job enqueue logic, including handling Sidekiq connectivity issues, occurs only after a successful transaction commit, preventing premature job execution.

Enable passing retryable SqlLiterals to #where
This update ensures that when a retryable SqlLiteral is provided to #where, its retryable status is preserved. The modification adjusts the internal handling within #build_where_clause and WhereClause to maintain the retryable attribute of the original SqlLiteral.

Use TRUE and FALSE for more SQLite queries
This change updates Active Record’s SQLite adapter to represent boolean values as TRUE and FALSE instead of 1 and 0. This enhances SQL readability and aligns with standard SQL boolean literals.

Make the executor hooks in AR::QueryCache private
ActiveRecord::QueryCache has been refactored to make its executor hooks private, ensuring they’re not accessible or overridable externally. Additionally, it reorganizes these hooks for improved clarity, aligning with the structure used in the connection pool.

Rescue connection related errors in MemCacheStore#read_multi_entries
This change enhances the MemCacheStore#read_multi_entries method by adding error handling for connection-related issues. Previously, network interruptions during bulk reads from Memcached could cause failures; such errors are now properly rescued, improving resilience in distributed caching scenarios.

Support selenium-webdriver 4.32.0
This change updates and adds support for some breaking changes on selenium-webdriver 4.32.0 version.
