Bartok9 70679ada61 fix(config): validate config-key schema, refuse unknown keys (#34067)
Fixes #34067. 'hermes config set <unknown.key.path> <value>' silently
accepted arbitrary key paths, wrote them to config.yaml, and reported
success — but the runtime/gateway never read them.

The headline case from the issue: a user typing
  hermes config set gateway.discord.gateway_restart_notification false
gets success, but the value lands at config.yaml:gateway.discord.* where
nothing reads it. The correct path is discord.gateway_restart_notification
(platform configs live at the top level of DEFAULT_CONFIG, not under
a 'platforms' namespace). The user reasonably believes the change took
effect, then loses time debugging behavior that hasn't changed.

Fix: schema-validate the dotted key path against DEFAULT_CONFIG before
writing. Walk DEFAULT_CONFIG along the user's segments and:

  - Reject unknown top-level keys with a fuzzy-match suggestion
  - Reject unknown sub-keys by suggesting the closest sibling
  - Accept anything below open-dict shapes (mcp_servers.<name>.command,
    providers.<openrouter>.api_key, etc.)
  - Accept anything below schema-defined-extensible shapes (platform
    configs like discord.*, telegram.* — PlatformConfig has dynamic
    'extra' fields, so deep validation is unsafe)
  - Special-case 'platforms.X' → suggest 'X' (the actual top-level layout)

Bypass with --force for forward-compatibility with keys a newer Hermes
version adds but the running version doesn't recognize yet:
  hermes config set --force brand_new_future_key value

API-key style names (OPENROUTER_API_KEY, *_TOKEN, etc.) still route to
.env before schema validation runs, so this is non-breaking for that path.

Adds 21 regression tests across TestSchemaValidation + TestValidateConfigKey
covering: unknown top-level keys, unknown sub-keys (the headline bug),
platforms.* prefix suggestions, fuzzy-match top-level typos, sibling-
suggestion sub-key typos, --force bypass, and that known config keys
(simple, platform-extensible, open-dict) still work.

Also updates 2 pre-existing tests that used non-canonical paths
(platforms.telegram.* and 'verbose') which schema validation correctly
flags — switched to canonical paths (telegram.* and agent.gateway_timeout).

All 53 tests in test_set_config_value.py pass.
