houdini-import-to-scene

Houdini asset import skill that consumes a validated AssetDescriptor from the shared dcc_mcp_core.asset_import contract and imports the asset file into a Houdini geo container via a File SOP. Returns a typed ImportToSceneResult with imported node names and any non-fatal warnings.

Load this skill after asset-source resolves the descriptor.
