Changing project directory now re-targets the skill watcher, keeping the old watch alive if that fails.

When the active project directory changes, Claude Code now tries to re-target the skill file watcher to the new directory. If that rehome fails, it logs the failure and emits skill_directory_reload telemetry, and keeps the previous watch running instead of silently breaking skill discovery.
