12:36 AM Ruby Feature #21981 (Open): Remove CREF rewriting for methods on cloned classes/modules

When a class or module is cloned, Ruby currently rewrites the CREF chain of each copied method so that it points at the new class instead of the original. I don't think this should happen, and methods on a cloned class should retain thei... jhawthorn (John Hawthorn)

04:13 AM Ruby Revision 91ae6986 (git): Use compile-time flag to indicate dynamic CREFs

The inline constant cache previously used `RCLASS_SINGLETON_P` to detect
"unstable" CREFs that need ic_cref stored and checked on every IC hit.
This caused the `class << self` pattern to create inline caches which
requires extra checks a... jhawthorn (John Hawthorn)

02:21 AM Ruby Revision dd3542a0 (git): Fix class variable cache not invalidated by class_variable_set

The previous invalidation walked subclasses but missed cvars from
included modules, and skipped invalidation when creating a new cvar on
modules entirely. Always invalidate when a new class variable is
created, since this should be relat... jhawthorn (John Hawthorn)

01:14 AM Ruby Feature #21976 (Open): Add $SECONDS, $RANDOM, and other bashisms

Some time ago there was a lot of discussion around a script named [safe_sleep.sh](https://github.com/actions/runner/blob/af6c8e6eddef233fdef862c1287d9b013c8aabff/src/Misc/layoutroot/safe_sleep.sh) in the GitHub Actions runner. Like [many... jhawthorn (John Hawthorn)

01:26 AM Ruby Revision 3c251f79 (git): Don't add singleton classes to subclasses list

Singleton classes don't need to be iterated in the subclasses list, we
only need to know that a subclass exists so that we can use the "method
entry" path for invalidation. jhawthorn (John Hawthorn)
