For October 2025, delivered a focused bug fix in Shopify/rails that standardizes event name formatting in assert_event_reported failure messages. The change appends .inspect to event names, aligning with how other event-related fields such as payload and tags are formatted, and clarifies the distinction between string and symbol event names. A regression test was added to verify the new formatting. The work was implemented via a targeted commit: d95fc7175e50b298b40c416ff0f9fcfa4ca3448a.
