why

rails 8.0 support ends on 2026-11-07. brakeman 8.1.0 flags it, and because of --ensure-latest that was failing scan_ruby on every PR.

what

• rails 8.0.5.1 → 8.1.4
• acts_as_paranoid 0.10.3 → 0.11.0. 0.10 caps activesupport below 8.1. according to the 0.11 changelog, it only changes which Ruby and Rails versions are supported, with no behaviour changes.
• config.load_defaults stays at 8.0. new_framework_defaults_8_1.rb is the stock template with everything commented out, so the new defaults can be turned on one at a time in follow-ups. action_on_path_relative_redirect = :raise is the one worth looking at first, since this is the auth service.
• removed the brakeman EOLRails ignore, since this PR makes it unnecessary.

also in this PR

38b5d41 is the CI-fix commit from #342, cherry-picked because main's lint and scan_ruby are red. it covers the backup_code.rb lint offense, the brakeman 8.1.0 bump, and the email typo banner moving to an _html key. whichever of the two PRs merges first, the other one rebases over it. if this one goes first, #342's EOL ignore entry becomes a conflict and should simply be dropped.

checked

• full suite: 657 examples, 74 failures, exactly the same set as main. most come from the :pending verification factory trait, which builds a persona record with a mismatched inquiry id. that means a lot of the persona and verification specs aren't actually covering anything right now.
• no deprecation warnings in the test run
• brakeman: no warnings. rubocop: clean.
• dev server: /up, /, /login and /.well-known/openid-configuration all respond normally. /oauth/discovery/keys returns 500 in dev on both 8.0 and 8.1 because there's no OIDC_SIGNING_KEY locally, so it's unrelated to the upgrade.

worth checking after deploy

• OIDC discovery and JWKS on staging/prod, since those need real keys
• a soft delete or restore path from the backend, which is the acts_as_paranoid bump
