• Confirm gemfiles/rails_8_1.gemfile dependencies match the Rails 8.1 ecosystem requirements
• Check for any remaining references to Rails 7.0/7.1 in other configuration files or documentation not shown in this diff

Poem

🐰 Rails march forward, the old must retire,
Seven-point-oh fades like forest fire,
Eight-point-one joins the tested tier,
Ruby versions aligned, the CI runs clear,
Shoryuken hops to the future near! 🚀
