Teknium 7e28b7b5d5 fix: parallelize skills browse/search to prevent hanging (#7301)
hermes skills browse ran all 7 source adapters serially with no overall
timeout and no progress indicator. On a cold cache, GitHubSource alone
could make 100+ sequential HTTP calls (directory listing + inspect per
skill per tap), taking 5+ minutes with no output — appearing to hang.

Changes:
- Add parallel_search_sources() in tools/skills_hub.py that runs all
  source adapters concurrently via ThreadPoolExecutor with a 30s
  overall timeout. Sources that finish in time contribute results;
  slow ones are skipped gracefully with a visible notice.
- Update unified_search() to use parallel_search_sources() internally.
- Update do_browse() and do_search() in hermes_cli/skills_hub.py to
  show a Rich spinner while fetching, so the user sees activity.
- Bump per-source limits (clawhub 50→500, lobehub 50→500, etc.) now
  that fetching is parallel — yields far more results per browse.
- Report timed-out sources and suggest re-running for cached results.
- Replace 'inspect/install' footer with 'search deeper' tip.

Worst-case latency drops from 5+ minutes (serial) to ~30s (parallel
with timeout cap). Result count should jump from ~242 to 1000+.
