Subject: [PATCH] fix(tests): attach caplog to specific logger in 3
 order-dependent tests (#11453)

Three tests in tests/test_plugin_skills.py and tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py
used caplog.at_level(logging.WARNING) without specifying a logger. When another
test earlier in the same xdist worker touched propagation on tools.skills_tool
or hermes_cli.plugins, caplog would miss the warning and the assertion would
fail intermittently in CI.

These three tests accounted for 15 of the last ~30 Tests workflow failures
(5 each), including the recent main failure on commit 436a7359 (PR #11398).

Fix: pass logger="tools.skills_tool" / logger="hermes_cli.plugins" to
caplog.at_level() so the handler attaches directly to the logger under test
and capture is independent of global propagation state.

Affected tests:
- tests/test_plugin_skills.py::TestSkillViewPluginGuards::test_injection_logged_but_served
- tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py::TestPluginCommands::test_register_command_empty_name_rejected
- tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py::TestPluginCommands::test_register_command_builtin_conflict_rejected

No production code change. Verified passing under xdist (-n 4) alongside
test_hermes_logging.py (the test most likely to poison the logger state).
