- PR #104864: fix(skills): convert skill command cache to multi-slot dict (platform/home identity isolation)

These items address a cache thrashing problem where the skill command cache was not keyed by platform, home, and project identity, causing repeated full rescans. The fix converts the cache to a multi-slot dictionary keyed by those identifiers.
