Garage's real CLI output pads labels with extra spaces for column
alignment ("Key ID: GKxxxx"), not a single space like the
mocked test used ("Key ID: GKxxxx") — the fixed ": " field separator left
that padding stuck to the parsed value, so .env ended up with access
key/secret strings carrying leading whitespace inside the quotes.
Confirmed live by the user right after install. This would have broken S3
auth outright once actually used, since access keys have to match exactly.
Switched to ':[[:space:]]+' as a regex field separator, which consumes
however many spaces are actually there instead of assuming exactly one.
Verified against both the single-space and padded/aligned formats — both
now produce the identical clean value with no leading whitespace.
