fix(pairing): accept spaced approval codes

[teknium1]

Summary

Hermes pairing approval now accepts codes pasted with visual whitespace while still rejecting chatter-wrapped text.

Changes

• gateway/pairing.py: normalize internal whitespace before matching pairing approval codes.
• tests/gateway/test_pairing.py: cover spaced-code acceptance and word-wrapped rejection.

Source

• Ported from NanoClaw PR: fix: accept telegram pairing codes pasted with spaces nanocoai/nanoclaw#3282
• Adaptation: NanoClaw normalizes Telegram setup-card digit spacing at inbound extraction time; Hermes centralizes the normalization in PairingStore.approve_code() so CLI, dashboard, desktop, and gateway callers inherit it.

Validation

Check	Result
scripts/run_tests.sh tests/gateway/test_pairing.py -q	31 passed
Isolated E2E with temp HERMES_HOME	Spaced code accepted; chatter-wrapped code rejected
