Issue #21324 has been updated by jas (Jasveen Sandral). I've identified the issue and prepared a fix. The problem is that RubyGems is being loaded into the root namespace during Ruby's boot process, and then all user namespaces inherit this same Gem constant through the Copy-on-Write mechanism. This causes all namespaces to share the same RubyGems environment and state, leading to version conflicts. The fix involves: 1. In `rb_initialize_main_namespace()`: - Detecting if the Gem constant exists in Object - Removing it explicitly with rb_const_remove() - Loading a fresh RubyGems environment 2. In `namespace_initialize()` (for Namespace.new): - Getting the namespace's own Object constant - Checking and removing any inherited Gem constant - Loading a clean RubyGems environment This ensures each namespace (main and optional) gets its own isolated RubyGems state, preventing version conflicts when loading gems across namespaces.
