When running tests without hermes-agent, 24 tests that depend on cron,
skills, approval, or agent backend modules now skip cleanly instead of
failing with 500 errors.
Detection: conftest.py checks if the agent dir exists and if cron.jobs
and tools.skills_tool are importable. When not available, an explicit
list of 24 test names is auto-marked with pytest.mark.skip.
Result:
- Without agent: 400 passed, 24 skipped, 0 failed
- With agent: all 424 tests run normally (skip logic is a no-op)
A warning banner prints at collection time:
"hermes-agent not found — 24 agent-dependent tests will be skipped"
