What does this mean when I run into "rake rails_rbi:models": Skip method ... because it is not autogenerated by Rails.

This message is shown when the method is overridden. sorbet-rails tries to use the information from the database & Rails source code to infer what Rails would normally dynamically generate. If you override the method, it’s not reliable that we’ll generate correct type. Because of that, we opt to skip the method. You’d have to define sigs for the methods yourself.
I think if sorbet-rails put the auto generated method in modules instead of the class itself, it’ll be safe to generate these methods, and users would override sigs for method that the sig actually change.
