 store instead of leaving command execution state in memory-only tool helpers.
+The patrol-local `memory.ChangeDetector.GetChangesSummary` path now also

+future fallback summary entry point inherits the same heading, resource

 Those unified-resource action and export audit records are now also exposed
 through the enterprise audit read surface so operators can inspect the
 execution trail without reaching into storage internals.
