Good morning, this is Rails Daily for February 13th, 2026.

Gannon McGibbon merged pull request #56787, adding an action mailer load hook in a broken configuration test. This fix resolves a load hook error that was introduced by pull request #56201. The change is minimal but important for test stability, modifying just 4 lines in the railties configuration test file.

The fix specifically targets the `railties/test/application/configuration_test.rb` file, adding 3 lines and removing 1. This type of targeted test fix is typical when addressing issues that emerge from previous changes to the Rails testing infrastructure.

What's next: Watch for any additional test stability improvements as the Rails team continues to refine the test suite. Monitor for related configuration changes that might build on this load hook fix.

That's your Rails update for today. We'll be back tomorrow with more developments from the Rails repository.
