+Report the hash that chain links use for every exported audit entry. `audit.export` gave a format-v2 entry's `content_hash_hex` as BLAKE3 of its signing data, which for v2 is the signature wrapper of the entry hash, so an exported chain that had switched to v2 did not link to its entries or to its head in `audit.heads`. v2 entries now export their SHA-256 entry hash; v1 entries are unchanged.
