Description
liquid-5.4.0/lib/liquid/standardfilters.rb:4: warning: base64 was loaded from the standard library, but will no longer be part of the default gems since Ruby 3.4.0. Add base64 to your Gemfile or gemspec.
/liquid-5.4.0/lib/liquid/standardfilters.rb:5: warning: bigdecimal was loaded from the standard library, but will no longer be part of the default gems since Ruby 3.4.0. Add bigdecimal to your Gemfile or gemspec.
Since liquid does not have any dependencies in gemspec I don't feel like adding
if Gem::Version.new(RUBY_VERSION) >= Gem::Version.new('3.3')
s.add_dependency('base64')
s.add_dependency('bigdecimal')
end
so just leave this as issue, not PR

Research direction
Start with lib/liquid/standardfilters.rb, especially the base64 and bigdecimal requires that produce the warnings, then inspect the gemspec and its dependency policy. Reproduce the warning on the affected Ruby version and confirm the chosen dependency declaration removes it without breaking supported versions or tests.
