WA-RAILS7-020: ActiveRecord attribute API changes

[kitcommerce]

Summary

Rails 7 changed how custom attribute types are registered. Workarea uses Mongoid (not ActiveRecord), but may have AR compatibility shims or test helpers affected.

Approach

1. Search codebase for ActiveRecord::Type.register
2. Search for custom attribute type classes
3. Check test/dummy apps for AR usage
4. Update to Rails 7 attribute type API if needed

Objective

Ensure any ActiveRecord usage (test helpers, compatibility layers) works with Rails 7.

Client Impact

None expected (Workarea uses Mongoid). This is defensive.

Acceptance Criteria

• Grep finds all ActiveRecord::Type usage
• No deprecated attribute type registration found
• Test dummy apps boot clean on Rails 7

Verification Plan

Run test dummy apps under Rails 7.0 and 7.1.

Audit results:

• usage: none found in the codebase ( returned no matches).
• No calls found.
• Added a Rails 7.0 compatibility Gemfile + CI matrix entry (experimental) and a couple small boot hardening tweaks (redis-rb + sidekiq callbacks) to keep the dummy apps closer to bootable on Rails 7.
