Agent Quick Fix

Repair against the current Ruby 3.4 contract, then keep the change narrow and source-backed.

Product: Ruby 3.4
Current-contract area: `drb` missing in a job-worker diagnostic path
Likely root cause: A health or remote-console feature fails only in production after upgrading the base image.
Repair direction: Verifier checks an explicit dependency or supported replacement and a clean install.

Symptom

A health or remote-console feature fails only in production after upgrading the base image.

Why This Happens

A library was historically part of the default runtime install but is now only bundled/optional, so project dependency files may not mention it.

Common Wrong Fixes

  • Changing local code without checking the current external contract.
  • Retrying the same install, build, or API call with no version/source change.
  • Applying a broad unsafe bypass when a narrow compatibility fix is available.
