`hermes update` ran the config migration (11 → 17) successfully then
crashed at `agent/skill_utils.py:340` during the post-migration
skill-config prompt. User @FlockonUS reported this on Twitter.
Root cause: `get_missing_skill_config_vars` in hermes_cli/config.py
only guarded the import of `discover_all_skill_config_vars`, not the
call. Any runtime exception inside the skill scan (malformed SKILL.md,
unreadable external skill dir, etc.) propagated up through
`migrate_config` and aborted `hermes update` after the version bump.
Wrap the call in try/except so skill-config prompting — which is a
post-migration nicety — can never block the migration itself.
