With ignore_restriction_errors enabled, a violated restriction with strict: true can be treated as valid:

class Event
  include ActiveModel::Model
  include ActiveModel::Attributes

  attribute :d, :date
  validates_date :d, before: :today, strict: true
end

ValidatesTimeliness.ignore_restriction_errors = true
Event.new(d: Date.current).valid? # Returns true before the fix

add_error raises ActiveModel::StrictValidationFailed, but the restriction evaluation's rescue catches it. With error ignoring disabled, that same rescue replaces the original validation message with “Error occurred validating ...”.

Move add_error outside the evaluation rescue so the original strict validation failure propagates in both configurations.
