## Use Propshaft as the default asset pipeline

Use the modern, simplified asset pipeline instead of Sprockets. For new Rails 7+ projects, use `Propshaft` to handle asset digests and paths without the complexity of transpilation.

**Incorrect:**

```ruby
# Gemfile
gem 'sprockets-rails'
```

**Correct:**

```ruby
# Gemfile
gem 'propshaft'
```

**Tools:** Manual Review
