Hi, it’s Claudio Baccigalupo. Let’s explore this week’s changes in the Rails codebase.

Set read-only permissions for GitHub Actions workflow generated by rails new
The workflow will run with the minimum required permissions, regardless of the GitHub Organization settings.

Don’t guard action_dispatch_request and action_cable load hooks
Removes the load hooks guard for action_dispatch_request in Action Pack and action_cable in Action Cable.

Improve Trix support for Action Text markdown
Adds <del> as a strikethrough alias (Trix emits <del>, not <s>). Also, add a visit_div handler so Trix-style <div> blocks pass through their children’s content, letting <br> tags handle paragraph spacing naturally.

Specify PostgreSQL 9.5 or higher is required
Rails includes array_position which is not available on previous versions.

Fix Encoding::CompatibilityError with non-ASCII strict locals defaults
Fixes an error raised by a template loaded via File.binread using strict locals with non-ASCII default values (e.g. <%# locals: (label: "café") -%>).

Fix IsolatedExecutionState.share_with call
When isolation_level = :fiber, it’s wrong to pass the original thread to share_with.

Fix collection caching to preserve store default expires_in
This change ensures that expires_in is only included in the arguments to write_multi when it is present in the collection cache options.
