Migrate to Lefthook for Git hooks management

Replace custom Git hooks implementation with Lefthook, following the
pattern used in React on Rails and Shakapacker projects.

Key improvements:
- Uses industry-standard Lefthook tool for hook management
- Parallel execution of pre-commit hooks for faster feedback
- Smart file detection using Lefthook's {staged_files} feature
- Pre-push hooks run full test suite before remote push
- Modular helper scripts in bin/lefthook/ directory
- Automatic hook installation via bin/setup

Hook configuration:
- Pre-commit (parallel, staged files only):
  * RuboCop: Lints staged Ruby files
  * RSpec: Runs tests for affected files
  * Trailing newlines: Ensures proper file endings
- Pre-push (comprehensive):
  * Full RuboCop on entire codebase
  * Full RSpec test suite

Performance:
- Pre-commit: <5 seconds (staged files only, parallel execution)
- Pre-push: Full validation before sharing changes
- CI: Complete verification on all platforms

Benefits over custom solution:
- Maintained by community (Evil Martians)
- Built-in parallel execution
- Better file filtering with globs
- Easy to extend with new hooks
- Consistent with React on Rails/Shakapacker ecosystem
- Automatic re-staging of auto-fixed files (future enhancement)

Migration notes:
- Removed bin/setup-git-hooks (replaced by lefthook install)
- Added lefthook gem to Gemfile
- Created modular helper scripts for maintainability
- Updated README with comprehensive hook documentation

 ### Git Hooks
 
-The repository includes a pre-commit hook that prevents simple test and lint
-failures from being committed. The hook is automatically installed when you run
-`bin/setup`.
+This project uses [Lefthook](https://github.com/evilmartians/lefthook) to manage
+Git hooks, providing fast and efficient pre-commit checks. Hooks are
+automatically installed when you run `bin/setup`.
 
-To manually install or update the hook:
+To manually install or update hooks:
 
 ```bash
-bin/setup-git-hooks
+bundle exec lefthook install
 ```
 
-The pre-commit hook provides fast feedback by:
+#### Pre-commit Hooks (Fast)
 
-- Running RuboCop on staged Ruby files only (not the entire codebase)
-- Running RSpec tests for affected files only (based on changed lib files)
-- Skipping tests if only non-code files are changed
+The pre-commit hooks run in parallel on staged files only:
 
-**Important:** The pre-commit hook runs _fast_ checks only. Before pushing or
-creating a PR, run the full test suite:
+- **RuboCop**: Lints staged Ruby files with auto-fix suggestions
+- **RSpec**: Runs tests for affected files (maps `lib/` changes to `spec/`)
+- **Trailing Newlines**: Ensures all files end with a newline
+
+These hooks complete in seconds, not minutes, providing immediate feedback.
+
+#### Pre-push Hooks (Comprehensive)
+
+Before pushing to remote, Lefthook runs the full test suite:
+
+- **Full RuboCop**: Lints entire codebase
+- **Full RSpec**: Runs all tests
+
+This ensures comprehensive verification before sharing your changes.
+
+#### Bypassing Hooks
+
+In exceptional cases, you can bypass hooks:
 
 ```bash
-bundle exec rubocop      # Lint entire codebase
-bundle exec rspec        # Run full test suite
+git commit --no-verify  # Skip pre-commit hooks
+git push --no-verify    # Skip pre-push hooks
 ```
 
-CI will enforce that all tests and linting pass on the entire codebase.
-
-To bypass the hook in exceptional cases, use `git commit --no-verify`.
+**Note:** CI will enforce all checks regardless of local bypasses.
 
 To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To
 release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then tag
