Rails 8.1.0 introduces the `except_on` option for validations and validation callbacks, allowing developers to skip them in specific contexts. Previously, developers had to rely on custom conditional logic or risky workarounds like `save(validate: false)`. The new option simplifies conditional exclusions and makes it easier to manage model behavior across different contexts like create or update operations.
