fix: standardize terminology from paste to gist in Help page

nullcoder · Claude · nullcoder · commit 36fd5a223ad2 · 2025-06-08T00:00:43.000-07:00
- Update all references from 'paste' to 'gist' for consistency
- Keep 'paste' only when used as a verb (e.g., 'paste your code')
- Update error messages and troubleshooting sections
- Fix Pastebin comparison section terminology

This completes the terminology standardization across the Help page.
