The admin interface for managing tax rates has been updated to allow configuration based on specific states rather than just countries. When the system is configured for state-based taxation (via the \tax\_per\_state\_id\ setting), the new form and index views present a Country selector followed by a State selector, and the tax rate list displays the associated state name. This change enables administrators to define precise tax percentages for individual states, while still supporting country-level tax rates when state granularity is not enabled.

This change introduces four new modules in app/models/concerns to centralize and reuse common model behaviors. ProductFilters provides a composable chain of filters for the admin product grid, handling criteria like name, type, shipping category, availability dates, and deletion status. ProductSearch integrates Searchkick for Elasticsearch-based product search with a fallback to SQL LIKE queries if the search service is unavailable, and includes a fix to prevent class-name leakage in Searchkick's model options. UserCim implements Customer Information Management (CIM) profile handling for recurring billing, managing the creation, updating, and deletion of customer profiles via a payment gateway. UserEmailer standardizes the delivery of activation and password-reset emails, supporting both background job queuing (Resque) and direct delivery.

This change introduces a comprehensive set of initializers that establish the application's foundational behavior. It configures asset pipelines for Dart Sass and standard paths, sets up AWS S3 storage and SendGrid email delivery for Heroku, and enables background job processing via Resque with basic authentication. The application now exposes its version and git revision, enforces the presence of encryption and payment keys via settings checks, and extends core Ruby classes (Date, Float, String) with utility methods for age calculation, rounding, and text cleaning. Additionally, it configures FriendlyId for URL slugs, Pagy for pagination, and defines default application settings.

The application now uses new configuration files for development, test, and production environments aligned with Rails 8. In production, static assets are served from Amazon S3 via the FOG\_DIRECTORY environment variable, and the Active Storage service is set to 'amazon'. Payment processing is configured to use Authorize.Net (both standard and CIM gateways) in both development and production modes, while the test environment uses a bogus gateway. Development mode enables code reloading and local asset serving, whereas production enforces SSL and caching.
