Jesse Vincent 178528c03e fix(hermes): working bootstrap injection via pre_llm_call + native skill registration ...

Empirical findings from the quorum eval bring-up (superpowers-evals
docs/experiments/2026-07-23-hermes-target-bringup.md):

- ctx.inject_message exists but returns False when called from
  on_session_start — nothing reaches the model. The documented path,
  a pre_llm_call hook returning {"context": ...} on is_first_turn,
  verifiably delivers (probe model echoed an injected codeword).
- ctx.register_skill requires a pathlib.Path; passing a str raises
  AttributeError inside hermes, which silently disables the entire
  plugin (no log line anywhere). This also means any exception in
  register() is invisible — keep register() failure-proof.
- Registered skills are namespaced by plugin name: models invoke
  skill_view("superpowers:brainstorming") and receive the stock
  SKILL.md — verified live on GLM 5.2, both install layouts.

The plugin now: resolves skills/ for both the git-clone layout
(.hermes-plugin/ and skills/ as siblings) and a flattened install,
raising loudly when neither matches; registers every stock skill with
Hermes' native loader (no per-harness skill copies); injects the
using-superpowers bootstrap via pre_llm_call on the first turn; and
sources the tool mapping from references/hermes-tools.md instead of
duplicating it. Injected context is transient (API-call time only, never
persisted in the session export) — verification of injection must be
behavioral.
