Improve Gemfile organization and documentation

Reorganize and standardize Gemfile for better maintainability: alphabetize gems within sections, standardize comment formatting, move gems to appropriate groups (faker and brakeman to dev/test), and update version constraints (puma and web-console). Remove redundant rake dependency and add descriptive comments to previously undocumented gems.
