The rails8.1 block is missing several dependencies that are consistently present in rails8.0 and all Rails 7.x version blocks. The following gems should be added for consistency:

• byebug (for debugging support)
• listen ~> 3.2 (for file watching)
• spring != 2.1.1 (application preloader)
• spring-watcher-listen ~> 2.0.0 (Spring file watcher integration)

Additionally, puma should have a version constraint (~> 6.0) to match the pattern used in rails7.1, rails7.2, and rails8.0.

The presence of bcrypt, bundler-audit, and solid_cache appears inconsistent with the rails8.0 block and may not be necessary in the Appraisals file if they are transitive dependencies.

Suggested change

	gem "bcrypt"
	gem "brakeman"
	gem "bundler-audit"
	gem "kamal"
	gem "minitest", "~> 5.27"
	gem "puma"
	gem "rails", "~> 8.1.0"
	gem "rubocop-rails-omakase"

The generated gemfile appears to be missing several gems that should be automatically included from the gemspec development dependencies. All other Rails version gemfiles (e.g., rails8.0.gemfile, rails7.2.gemfile) explicitly list these gems:

• appraisal
• aruba
• cucumber
• rake
• rspec-rails
• standard

Additionally, gems like bcrypt and solid_cache that appear in rails8.0.gemfile are also missing. This suggests the gemfile may not have been generated correctly using the appraisal generate command, or there's an issue with the Appraisal gem's generation process for this configuration.

Suggested change

	gem "appraisal"
	gem "aruba"
	gem "cucumber"
	gem "rake"
	gem "rspec-rails"
	gem "standard"
