acts_as_paranoid called more than once when using format validation

[besquared]

This may be a problem in Rails 7.1 since I am using 7.1.0.alpha but may come up in the future.

If I include both acts_as_paranoid and validates :a, format: { ... } then acts_as_paranoid is loaded more than once. None of the other common validations seem to cause this. Console output, model file, and gem file included below.

irb(main):001:0> FilePath.c[WARN] FilePath is calling acts_as_paranoid more than once!
irb(main):001:0> FilePath.cr[WARN] FilePath is calling acts_as_paranoid more than once!
irb(main):001:0> FilePath.cre[WARN] FilePath is calling acts_as_paranoid more than once!
irb(main):001:0> FilePath.crea[WARN] FilePath is calling acts_as_paranoid more than once!

class FilePath < ApplicationRecord
  acts_as_paranoid

  # Validations

  validates :name, format: {
      with: /^[a-zA-Z0-9_\-\s\.]+$/,
      message: "Invalid file name"
    }

Thank you for opening this. I am in the process of upgrading my app to 7.1-alpha, but I have not encountered this problem specifically yet...

please do let us know if you find out more..

[mathieujobin]

it appears you experienced this problem in the recent debug gem session?
does it happens in production?
did it cause any actual problems? I have a feeling it could be related to the debugger reloading code. especially in dev environment.

please reopen if you find more information on how to reproduce. etc.

PRs are very welcome
