feat: report a skill-name collision across the listing (#2248)

SEP-2640: hosts MUST NOT assume name uniqueness, and when two entries in one
listing collide on `name` a host MUST disambiguate them rather than silently
discarding or preferring one.

`checkSkillConformance` structurally cannot see this — it takes one entry and
a collision is a property of the pair — so `checkSkillNameCollisions` walks
the listing and returns a finding per colliding entry, each naming the
others. All three clients merge it into the entry's own findings, so it
carries through the header badge, the CLI report and the TUI row marks with
no new surface.

**It is a `warning`, not an `error`,** and that is the severity split doing
its job. The obligation is on the *consumer*: a server may legitimately
publish two skills with the same name under different paths, and the SEP's
own `acme/billing/refunds` example is exactly that shape. Calling it an error
would tell a conforming author their catalog is invalid. `--verify` therefore
still exits 0 for a collision.

In the web screen it renders as a banner directly under the Conformance
header and is filtered out of the findings list, the same treatment
`dynamic-resources` gets: it changes how everything below it should be read,
and stating one fact twice reads as two findings.

Fixed while adding it: an entry whose only finding was a banner one rendered
an EMPTY findings container instead of "no structural issues", because the
list's presence was decided on the unfiltered set while its contents were
filtered. `listedIssues` is now derived once and used for both.

The fixture gains `acme/reports` + `globex/reports`, both fully conforming
and sharing the name `reports` — also the only fixture with a multi-segment
skill path, which nothing else exercised. Eight skills over four pages now,
and the integration test walks the cursor to exhaustion rather than asserting
a fixed page count, so a future fixture does not require editing it.

Its entry is otherwise fully conforming and verifies clean, so the disagreement between the two views is the only defect — and only a directory read can see it.

Hosts MUST NOT assume name uniqueness and MUST tell the two apart rather than collapsing or preferring one, so the Inspector reports a `duplicate-name` **warning** on both and shows each skill's URI beside its name.
