Rails [requires manual care when upgrading](https://docs.publishing.service.gov.uk/manual/keeping-software-current.html#rails), so should not be auto-merged. By coincidence, govuk-dependabot-merger is not auto-merging rails upgrades (because it involves a change to both Gemfile and Gemfile.lock, and the merger service only allows a change to Gemfile.lock) but it is skipping rails by coincidence rather than by design. We should play it safe and explicitly exclude Rails from the allowlist. See [Slack thread](https://gds.slack.com/archives/CAB4Q3QBW/p1715942643914479).
