Cannot create separate PR without minitest upgrade - limitation explained

[Copilot]

Authors: Please fill out this form carefully and completely.

Reviewers: By approving this Pull Request you are approving the code change, as well as its deployment and mitigation plans.
Please read this description carefully. If you feel there is anything unclear or missing, please ask for updates.

What are you trying to accomplish?

Responded to request to create a separate PR excluding the minitest upgrade (5.27.0 → 6.0.1) while keeping the rubocop-rails upgrade (2.33.4 → 2.34.3).

Outcome: Cannot create new PRs due to system limitations. Provided guidance on manual approach:

1. Branch from main
2. Use bundle update rubocop-rails --conservative to minimize transitive dependencies
3. Pin minitest in Gemfile if it still upgrades as a transitive dependency

The minitest upgrade may be pulled in automatically as a dependency of other gems, making it difficult to isolate the rubocop-rails change.
