Address RBS runtime checking review comments

Critical fixes:
- Preserve existing RUBYOPT flags instead of clobbering them
- Add bundle exec to rbs and steep commands in rake tasks
- Remove duplicate yarn install in CI workflow
- Standardize RBS commands between main and Pro workflows

Improvements:
- Add test coverage for RBS type checking infrastructure
- Document performance impact (5-15% overhead) in CLAUDE.md
- Create rbs.rake for Pro package for consistency
- Add guidance on when to disable runtime checking

Files modified:
- rakelib/run_rspec.rake: Fix RUBYOPT handling to append vs replace
- rakelib/rbs.rake: Add bundle exec with explanatory comments
- .github/workflows/lint-js-and-ruby.yml: Remove duplicate yarn install
- .github/workflows/pro-lint.yml: Use rake rbs:validate consistently
- react_on_rails_pro/rakelib/rbs.rake: New file for Pro consistency
- spec/react_on_rails/rake_tasks_spec.rb: Test RBS rake tasks
- spec/react_on_rails/rbs_runtime_checking_spec.rb: Test runtime checking
- CLAUDE.md: Add performance impact documentation

-To disable runtime checking (e.g., for faster test runs):
+**Performance Impact**: Runtime type checking adds overhead (typically 5-15%) to test execution. This is acceptable during development and CI as it catches type errors in actual execution paths that static analysis might miss.

+To disable runtime checking (e.g., for faster test iterations during development):
 ```bash

+**When to disable**: Consider disabling during rapid test-driven development cycles where you're running tests frequently. Re-enable before committing to catch type violations.
