chore: apply prettier formatting to tracked docs files (#3153)
## Summary
- Applies `prettier --write` to five tracked docs files that are
currently out of compliance on `main`.
- No content changes — only whitespace/table-alignment fixes produced by
Prettier.
## Why this is needed
The formatting drift landed via a docs-only merge to `main`. The
`lint-js-and-ruby.yml` workflow is conditionally skipped for docs-only
commits on `main` (see the job condition at
[`.github/workflows/lint-js-and-ruby.yml:79-87`](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails/blob/main/.github/workflows/lint-js-and-ruby.yml#L79-L87)),
so the check never ran on merge. It surfaces on every subsequent
code-touching PR because the lint job runs for those (e.g.
[#3151](#3151),
[#3148](#3148),
[#3142](#3142),
[#3097](#3097)).
Merging this unblocks the `build` → `Check formatting` step on those
PRs.
## Test plan
- [x] `pnpm start format.listDifferent` passes for the five files
- [x] Diff is purely whitespace — no link targets, code blocks, or prose

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Documentation**
* Improved formatting across API reference, core concepts, migration,
and RSC docs: refined table layouts, adjusted column alignment, and
standardized emphasis for clearer warnings.
* Updated link text and phrasing for several guides for clearer
navigation.
* Reformatted code examples and JSX/Route snippets for more compact,
consistent presentation and improved readability.

Before diving into render-functions, it helps to know the three kinds of values you can register with `ReactOnRails.register`. React on Rails classifies each registered entry based on its shape, and the classification determines where it can run (server, client, or both) and which Ruby helpers can invoke it.

If none of those keys are present, the object is passed through unchanged (which typically fails validation elsewhere).

Note that `hasErrors` is *not* set — only `routeError` sets the error flag, so no `PrerenderError` is raised regardless of `raise_on_prerender_error`. If you want to signal failure, throw an error instead of returning one in a plain object.
