-**Doctor Checks for :async Loading Strategy**: Added proactive diagnostic checks to the React on Rails doctor tool to detect usage of the `:async` loading strategy in projects without React on Rails Pro. The feature scans view files and initializer configuration, providing clear guidance to either upgrade to Pro or use alternative loading strategies like `:defer` or `:sync` to avoid component registration race conditions.

-**`generated_component_packs_loading_strategy` now defaults based on Pro license**: When using Shakapacker >= 8.2.0, the default loading strategy is now `:async` for Pro users and `:defer` for non-Pro users. This provides optimal performance for Pro users while maintaining compatibility for non-Pro users. You can still explicitly set the strategy in your configuration.

-**Shakapacker Template Configuration**: Fixed shakapacker.yml template to prevent unnecessary "Slow setup for development" warnings by setting `compile: false` as the default configuration. This allows development environments to inherit the setting instead of forcing on-demand compilation when using Procfiles with `bin/dev` that already run the shakapacker dev server or watch mode.

Instead of processing components sequentially, the system now uses a producer-consumer pattern with bounded buffering to allow multiple components to stream simultaneously while maintaining per-component chunk ordering.
