Re-homing re-resolves the directories, restarts the file watcher over the merged set, waits for it to be ready with a timeout, and re-arms the periodic idle check.
Only does work when the resolved directory set actually changes.
A debounced reload now also re-reads the moved directory's skills and warns if that read fails.
