Add a structured activity audit log for user profile changes and account events

[grantfox-oss]

Context

The application already uses audit logging in some flows, but user profile updates and account-related events do not consistently produce a structured history that can be reviewed later. This makes it harder to trace account changes or support investigations.

Problem statement

Implement a structured audit log for user profile changes and other account-level events so that updates are traceable and can be reviewed through a consistent mechanism.

Current behavior

• Some flows create audit logs, but profile and account changes do not have a consistent audit trail across the service layer.
• The current audit log model is not fully leveraged for user-facing state changes.

Required behavior

• User profile and account-related updates should create audit entries with enough context to understand what changed and who performed it.
• The audit log should be consistent across update operations and easy to query later.
• The change should not break the existing user update workflow.

Constraints

• The change should preserve the current user and audit model where possible.
• The implementation should remain compatible with the existing Prisma schema and service patterns.

Acceptance criteria

• Profile updates create audit entries with actor and metadata.
• Account-related state changes are also recorded consistently.
• Unit tests cover audit entry creation for profile updates.

Out of scope

• Building a full admin audit viewer UI.
• Rewriting the audit logging infrastructure.

Hints and references

• Review the existing audit log model and the user controller/service update paths for the best insertion point.

Hi! I'd like to take this on.

I'll start by reviewing the current implementation to understand how this feature fits into the existing codebase, then implement the requested changes in a way that's consistent with the project's architecture and conventions.

My goal is to:

• Implement all requirements outlined in the issue.
• Keep the solution clean, maintainable, and minimally invasive.
• Add or update tests covering the new behavior, including edge cases where appropriate.
• Verify that the implementation satisfies the acceptance criteria and doesn't introduce regressions.

I'll share a PR with a clear summary of the changes, testing performed, and any design decisions made during implementation.
