Runtime bundled-library drift
Ruby 4.0 default gems bundled libraries removed stdlib logger csv net smtp official
The main executable works, but an infrequently used subcommand fails at runtime after the image upgrade.
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: CLI optional subcommand imports moved library
Likely root cause: The main executable works, but an infrequently used subcommand fails at runtime after the image upgrade.
Repair direction: Verifier checks an explicit dependency or supported replacement and a clean install.Symptom
The main executable works, but an infrequently used subcommand fails at runtime after the image upgrade.
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.
