Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Move the audit append path into Base

IAuditLogService (with AuditLogEntrySnapshot) and AuditActionDefinition with its
contributor contract move from Humans.AuditLog/Contracts to Humans.Base/AuditLog,
namespace unchanged. Projects that only wrote audit rows or declared actions drop
their AuditLog reference. AuditLog is still referenced by Web, Agent (viewer),
GoogleIntegration (legacy reader) and the six sections whose views render
<vc:audit-log>.

-**One Contracts home.** The section's `Contracts/` folder (namespace `Humans.AuditLog.Contracts`) carries `IAuditLogService` — the append path, called from most sections — plus `AuditActionDefinition` / `IAuditActionContributor` / `AuditActionContributor`, `IAuditViewerService` / `AuditEvent` and `ILegacyGoogleSyncAuditReader`.
+**Two homes, one namespace.** The append path every section calls — `IAuditLogService` (with `AuditLogEntrySnapshot`) and `AuditActionDefinition` / `IAuditActionContributor` / `AuditActionContributor` — lives in `src/Humans.Base/AuditLog/`, so writers need no reference to this section. The section's `Contracts/` folder keeps the narrow reads: `IAuditViewerService` / `AuditEvent` (Agent) and `ILegacyGoogleSyncAuditReader` (GoogleIntegration). Both use namespace `Humans.AuditLog.Contracts`.
 
 **Section-internal reads: `IAuditLogReader`.** `internal interface IAuditLogReader` (`Services/IAuditLogReader.cs`) holds the raw-snapshot reads whose only caller is `AuditViewerService` — `GetFilteredAsync`, `GetByUserAsync`, plus `GetFilteredEntriesAsync` so the viewer takes one injection rather than two. `AuditLogService` implements it alongside `IAuditLogService`; `Section.Register` maps both to the same scoped instance. Nothing outside this assembly can name it, which is the point: those reads stay off the public surface.
 
-**`<vc:audit-log>` binding.** The component is public in `Humans.AuditLog.ViewComponents`; its views are at `Views/Shared/Components/AuditLog/`. Every consuming assembly — `Humans.Calendar`, `Humans.Debug`, `Humans.Expenses`, `Humans.Store`, `Humans.Teams`, `Humans.Tickets`, `Humans.Users` — needs both a `ProjectReference` and `@addTagHelper *, Humans.AuditLog` in its `_ViewImports.cshtml`; a missing directive ships inert literal markup with a green build. Note the reference can be IL-invisible: Razor resolves `@addTagHelper` at compile time and the generated tag helper names no type from this assembly, so a consumer that only *renders* audit shows no `Humans.AuditLog` entry in `GetReferencedAssemblies()`. Seeded-marker render assertions guard the binding (`Humans.Integration.Tests`, nightly, not CI): `AuditLogPageRenderTests` on `/Users/Admin/{id}`, `/Debug/WidgetGallery` and `/Profile/{id}`, `StoreControllerTests` on `/Store/Order/{id}`, plus a source scan asserting every `<vc:audit-log>` call site sits under a `_ViewImports` chain that binds it.

 - `AuditLogService` (`internal sealed`, `Humans.AuditLog.Services`) depends only on abstractions — no `DbContext`, no `IMemoryCache`. Its cross-section surface is the whole of `Humans.AuditLog.Contracts.IAuditLogService`: the `LogAsync` write overloads plus `GetFilteredEntriesAsync` (Issues, `ExpenseReportService`, Users' `DuplicateAccountService`) and `GetEntityIdsForEntityTypeActionsAsync` (`ShiftsController.OrphanSignups`).
 - `IAuditLogRepository` (impl `src/Sections/Humans.AuditLog/Data/AuditLogRepository.cs`, `internal sealed`) is the only file that touches `DbContext.AuditLogEntries` — confirmed by source: no other repository references the `AuditLogEntries` DbSet. Uses `IDbContextFactory<AuditLogDbContext>` with short-lived contexts per call.

 ## AuditLog
 
 Project: `src/Sections/Humans.AuditLog` — services under `Services/`,
-repository under `Data/`, plus a `src/Sections/Humans.AuditLog/Contracts`
-folder carrying `IAuditLogService` and `AuditLogEntrySnapshot` (read by most
-sections). `AuditLog` is a **horizontal section**.
+repository under `Data/`. `IAuditLogService` and `AuditLogEntrySnapshot` (used
+by most sections) live in `src/Humans.Base/AuditLog/`; the section's `Contracts/`
+folder keeps `IAuditViewerService`, `AuditEvent` and `ILegacyGoogleSyncAuditReader`. `AuditLog` is a **horizontal section**.
 **DbContext:** `AuditLogDbContext`.
 `AuditLogRepository` injects
 `IDbContextFactory<AuditLogDbContext>` directly. Owns
