## Title

    [OpenAI Ruby] Sorbet T::Struct structured outputs: 'not supported for streaming' / function tools / 'require the optional sorbet-runtime gem'

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): The Sorbet integration supports only non-streaming responses.create and chat.completions.create; streaming structured outputs and function-tool schemas are rejected. sorbet-runtime is optional and not a dependency.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Other error fragments:
    - Sorbet structured-output function tools are not supported
    - Sorbet structured outputs require the optional sorbet-runtime gem
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openai/openai-ruby/6f786c6a752a0a2773ecf7c1b0b4490a94104c15/lib/openai/helpers/sorbet.rb (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Raises these ArgumentErrors for streaming and function-tool use, and LoadError when sorbet-runtime is missing.
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openai/openai-ruby/6f786c6a752a0a2773ecf7c1b0b4490a94104c15/README.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): README: integration supports non-streaming responses.create and chat.completions.create only; streaming structured outputs and function-tool schemas are not supported.
    
    Search phrasings: openai ruby sorbet structured output streaming not supported; from_sorbet function tools not supported
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
