Post install of 2026.6.0-latest, i started seeing these errors within the error.…log within admin - Failed to handle exception in exception app middleware : ActionView::Template::Error : The asset 'onpopstate-handler.js' was not found in the load path. Looks like a js file traditionally called has been moved/changed.
