Greptile Summary

Expands the precompile_hook documentation with practical guidance for choosing between using the hook versus explicit startup orchestration. The additions include:

  • Decision guide explaining when to use precompile_hook (default/consistent tasks) versus explicit bin/dev orchestration (custom multi-step flows)
  • Comparison table with 5 key dimensions: best use case, timing, production integration, complexity, and debugging approach
  • shakapacker_precompile interaction section clarifying how the two configuration options work together with three common configuration patterns
  • SHAKAPACKER_SKIP_PRECOMPILE_HOOK environment variable documented as the temporary bypass mechanism

The documentation accurately reflects the implementation in lib/shakapacker/compiler.rb:85 where the environment variable check occurs. All technical details are correct and align with the codebase behavior.

Confidence Score: 5/5

  • This PR is safe to merge with no concerns
  • Documentation-only change that adds helpful decision-making guidance and clarifies existing features. All technical details verified against source code (lib/shakapacker/compiler.rb, lib/shakapacker/configuration.rb). No code changes, no breaking changes, no test requirements.
  • No files require special attention
