Runtime bundled-library drift
Ruby 4.0 bundled gems removed default gems Ruby 4.0
Incremental deploys pass but a cache purge reproducibly breaks boot.
Agent Quick Fix
Repair against the current Ruby 4.0 contract, then keep the change narrow and source-backed.
Product: Ruby 4.0
Current-contract area: Buildpack cache conceals missing explicit gem
Likely root cause: Incremental deploys pass but a cache purge reproducibly breaks boot.
Repair direction: Verifier checks an explicit dependency or supported replacement and a clean install.
Symptom
Incremental deploys pass but a cache purge reproducibly breaks boot.
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.
