Subject: [PATCH 2/2] fix(cli): route RichHandler logs to stderr, restore
 logger name

RichHandler's default console writes to stdout, which would interleave
log output into the JSON payloads of `tether benchmark --json` and
`tether verify --json` and break `| jq` pipelines. Pin the handler to a
stderr Console to preserve the stream contract from v0.11.2.

Also restore %(name)s in the format string so logger attribution
(tether.runtime.server vs tether.exporters.monolithic) survives, and
move the rich import into the third-party block.
