HISTORY is unavailable when using rails console with RUBY_DEBUG_IRB_CONSOLE=1

[tompng]

Description

Rails console HISTORY is unavailable with RUBY_DEBUG_IRB_CONSOLE=1

Preparation

Create new rails app with rails new appname.
Add gem 'spring' to Gemfile and run spring binstub --all. (This step is optional)

versions are:

debug (1.9.2)
reline (0.5.9)
irb (1.13.2)
rails (7.1.3.4)
spring (4.2.1)

Reproduce

Without spring

$ rails c
irb(main):001> Up arrow shows history
$ RUBY_DEBUG_IRB_CONSOLE=1 rails c
irb(main):001> Up arrow does not show history

With spring

$ rails c
irb(main):001> HISTORY available
$ RUBY_DEBUG_IRB_CONSOLE=1 rails c
irb(main):001> HISTORY available (until `spring stop`)
$ spring stop
$ RUBY_DEBUG_IRB_CONSOLE=1 rails c
irb(main):001> HISTORY unavailable
$ rails c
irb(main):001> HISTORY unavailable (until `spring stop`)
$ spring stop
$ rails c
irb(main):001> HISTORY available

I think the issue is just between debug and IRB. It shows up in Rails console likely because it requires and activates debug by default and thus turning Rails console's IRB into a irb:rdbg session.
