A weekly Rails update covering several new changes: Action Text gains a to_markdown method mirroring to_plain_text, enabling rich text HTML conversion to Markdown with support for inline formatting, lists, tables, and links. Blob attachments now render as proper Markdown image/link syntax. MissingAttachable now returns a '☒' character in plain text. HTTP authentication methods gain an optional content_type parameter for 401 responses. A new RAILS_HOST_APP_PATH environment variable enables correct 'open in editor' links when running Rails inside devcontainers or Docker.

Action Text gets Markdown conversion, editor links in devcontainers, and more!
