Research direction

Start at jsonapi/routing_ext.rb line 134 and compare its Resource call with the actionpack routing mapper initializer at Rails 8.1.3 line 1319. Reproduce the failure through config/routes.rb and rails app:update. Done means the task completes without the ArgumentError under Rails 8.1.3.

Description

I'm trying to update my app to Rails 8.1.3 and when I run the rails app:update task it fails part way through with this error:

        ...
        skip  bin/setup
       rails  active_storage:update
bin/rails aborted!
ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (given 4, expected 3) (ArgumentError)
