Subject: [PATCH] Monkey patch Object#as_json

After upgrading to Rails 7.1 there were persistent 'stack level too deep' with
some partials. This was traced back to:

  https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/fa9cf269191c5077de1abdd1e3f934fbeaf2a5d0/activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/object/json.rb#L58-L66

Changing this monkey patch slightly prevents the errors. Ideally, this will be
removed when a better solution is found.
