   Thanks for the advisory, @scarroll32. Feedback from the ActiveAdmin side:

   • We tested ActiveAdmin's full suite against ransack main on Rails 8.1 and it passes. Rails 8.0 and 7.2 cannot resolve it, as expected after the activerecord >= 8.1 change.
   • ActiveAdmin still supports Rails 7.2 and 8.0, so those applications stay on ransack 6.0.0. That release has no translations for i_cont, i_start, i_end and their variants, so their labels render as raw keys. what's the best way for this #1744 fixes this, but only for 6.1.0.
   • Since 6.0.0 makes cont, start and end case-sensitive on PostgreSQL, we are moving ActiveAdmin's default string filters to the i_* predicates, which makes the missing labels visible to our users.

   Could the translations from #1744 be released in a 6.0.x, ideally from a new 6-0-stable branch? The request is tracked in activerecord-hackery/ransack#1788.
