Description
$ bundle install --frozen --jobs 4 --path /app/data/bundler --retry 2
pid: 3395254
[DEPRECATED] The `--frozen` flag is deprecated because it relies on being remembered across bundler invocations, which bundler will no longer do in future versions. Instead please use `bundle config set frozen true`, and stop using this flag
[DEPRECATED] The `--path` flag is deprecated because it relies on being remembered across bundler invocations, which bundler will no longer do in future versions. Instead please use `bundle config set path '/app/data/bundler'`, and stop using this flag
Bundler 2.7.2 is running, but your lockfile was generated with 4.0.2. Installing Bundler 4.0.2 and restarting using that version.

Looks like we have two options:
- Freeze via config by running
bundle config set --local frozen truebefore runningbundle install ... - Freeze via an environment:
BUNDLE_FROZEN=true
Likewise for replacing --path

Research direction
Start by locating the code that assembles and runs the bundle install --frozen --jobs 4 --path /app/data/bundler --retry 2 command. Review how Bundler configuration is set or passed to the process, then verify that the generated command works with Bundler 4 and preserves frozen and path behavior.
