attribute` is back, pluck on unsaved records, and more!

This week in Rails covers several bug fixes and improvements: CollectionProxy#pluck now reads in-memory records on unsaved associations; alias_attribute support is restored in associations after being broken since Rails 4.2; new query predicate hooks let Active Record types customize where predicate building; search_field with autosave: true no longer raises NameError; job continuation cursors now preserve their type across interrupts via ActiveJob::Arguments; prepared statements can now coexist with query log tags; SQL logs show positional markers for casted binds; Mime types and the Action View dependency tracker registry are made Ractor-shareable. Several internal APIs are deprecated, including write_attribute(:id, value), positional #insert arguments, and passing raw binds to #insert, #update, and #delete. Matz is also announced as a speaker at Rails World 2026 in Austin.
