Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Trace the Rails add-on detection and its test-explorer entry points, then verify that Rails engines without bin/rails receive support and do not crash when tests are run through the explorer.

Description

bug pinned

We currently don't add the Rails add-on if the workspace structure doesn't include a bin/rails. This means that we sometimes miss Rails engines that don't define this file, which isn't great as they then lose support for running tests through the explorer among other things.

Maybe we can include the add-on on more conditions and do the work to ensure that it won't crash when running in an engine without bin/rails, so that support is improved.
