Preserve diagnostic evidence through doctor export

Align scrubber and independent audit prompts around one shared redaction policy while preserving safe command, result, source, session-line, quotation, and linkage structure. Add finished-handoff evidence and reconciliation instructions, provenance labels across case/report/bundle/issue templates, and the structural existence check for the shared reference.\n\nThis patch responds to the retained negative post-report handoff baseline: cited result bodies were removed wholesale, source findings and the positive related-session match were not verifiable, provenance and export statements were stale, and scrub counts disagreed. The behavioral handoff validation remains pending for the follow-up task; this commit records only the focused product guidance and structural RED/GREEN evidence.
