Rails deploy fails with `Unable to load application: LoadError: cannot load such file -- fiber`

TLDR; I'm running a Rails app on Heroku. I have staging & production environments, set up as 2 apps in a pipeline. As the heroku stack heroku-18 has reached EOL, I'm in the process of upgrading the app to heroku-22. Upgrading staging worked perfectly fine, but on production I'm getting the following error: Unable to load application: LoadError: cannot load such file -- fiber

Note that my app is set up with 2 processes:

web.1: web server running rails with puma
worker.1: worker running sidekiq

Both processes crash every time I attempt to deploy. web.1:

heroku[web.1]: Starting process with command `bundle exec puma -p 11167`

And worker.1:

Environment details:

ruby 3.2.2
rails 7.0.4.3
puma 6.2.2
sidekiq 4.0.2 (haven't gotten around to upgrading this one but shouldn't affect web.1)
Staging and production environments are very similar. They use the same gems except for newrelic_rpm (production only), which isn't anywhere in the crash stack trace. They have almost identical resources in heroku in terms of dynos and db types and so on.

The fact that both processes are crashing makes me think there's something wrong that is unrelated to the puma or sidekiq configurations. The fact that both run fine on staging has me baffled.

I first upgrading the staging environment using the heroku CLI to set the stack to heroku-22, and then deploying the latest version of the codebase (this included the new ruby version, new rails version, and may other gem and code updates). Then, I tried the following (rolling back to last working version after every deploy attempt ended in crash):

Promoting the staging app to production (a heroku pipeline feature).
Upgrading production stack from CLI, then deploying manually (not using pipeline).
Contacting Heroku customer support.
Setting HEROKU_DEBUG_RAILS_RUNNER=1 (suggested by Heroku CS), which did not produce any additional messages.
Restarting dynos right after a failed deploy.
Scaling dynos to 0, then deploying, then scaling back up.

Solution

The crash is caused by using the version 9.2.2 of the newrelic_rpm gem. Updating the Gemfile to gem 'newrelic_rpm', '< 9.0' results in installing v8.16.0 and the app loads correctly (and the NewRelic integration works as expected).

It is still unclear why v9.2.2 crashes. I have logged an issue here and may post a new version of this question that is specific to the circumstances of the crash.
