…usResearch#9949) Relative entries in skills.external_dirs were resolved against the process cwd via Path.resolve(), making them silently fail when Hermes was launched from a different directory. Resolve relative paths against get_hermes_home() for consistent behavior across CLI, gateway, and cron contexts. Absolute paths and env-var/tilde expansion are unchanged.

Summary
Fixes #9949. Relative entries in \skills.external_dirs\ were resolved against the process working directory, causing them to silently fail when Hermes was launched from a different directory.
Root Cause
\Path(expanded).resolve()\ resolves relative paths against \os.getcwd(), not against \HERMES_HOME. A config like ../shared-skills\ works when launched from \HERMES_HOME\ but silently fails from any other directory.
Fix
Resolve relative paths against \get_hermes_home()\ instead of cwd. Absolute paths, tilde expansion, and env-var expansion are unchanged.
