Activestorage Uploads
File uploads in Ruby on Rails 8 with Active Storage — direct uploads to S3/GCS (skip the Rails server for the byte payload), variant configuration with image_processing + libvips, content-type and size validation, pre-signed URL safety (short TTLs, no public buckets by default), analyzer / previewer hooks, processing variants in background jobs (not the request thread), the service config for dev/test/prod. Use when the user mentions Active Storage, file uploads, attach, has_one_attached, has_many_attached, direct uploads, image variants, S3, GCS, image_processing, libvips, signed URLs, or asks how to handle avatars / attachments / photo uploads in Rails.
