POST /admin/users (Site-Admin guard) creates an account with the same field rules as self-registration, but active immediately: the admin vouches for the address, so the e-mail is marked verified and the personal pond is provisioned exactly like the verify-email path does (markEmailVerified alone would skip the pond). The user manager gains a create dialog (useModalFocus/useDismissable, Field wiring, flat RHF field names per the #322 lesson). New audit action user.created_by_admin, catalogue bumped to 1.9. Tests: api e2e-db (create + immediate login + personal pond, duplicate username 409, non-admin 403), web e2e through the dialog, and the admin a11y scan now opens the dialog too. Both packs verified locally against a fresh stack. Closes #331

# Audit event catalogue
|
||
|
||
**Catalogue version 1.9 (2026-08-05; 1.9 adds `user.created_by_admin`,
|
||
issue #331; 1.8 added `pond.archived`,
|
||
issue #305; 1.7 added `branding.changed`,
|
||
issue #306; 1.6 added `font.uploaded` and
|
||
`font.deleted`, issue #303; 1.5 added `plugin.rejected`,
|
||
issue #232; 1.4 added `auth.proxy_rejected`, issue #215; 1.3 added `auth.identity_linked`, issue #214; 1.2 added
|
||
`read_trail.pruned`, issue #224; 1.1 added `page.classification_*`,
|
||
issue #205).**
|
||
|
||
This is the operator-facing contract for the audit trail: every event id
|
||
the application can emit, with its trigger, severity, actor/target
|
||
semantics, and fields. SIEM/syslog rules written against this document
|
||
survive application updates because of the compatibility promise below.
|
||
|
||
The code half of this catalogue is `apps/api/src/audit/audit-actions.ts`
|
||
(a typed union — an uncatalogued id cannot be emitted), and
|
||
`audit-catalogue.test.ts` fails CI whenever this document and that code
|
||
drift. Changing either alone is impossible.
|
||
|
||
## Compatibility promise
|
||
|
||
- **Ids are never repurposed.** The meaning of an id listed here is frozen.
|
||
- **Adding events** bumps the catalogue's minor version; existing rules
|
||
are unaffected.
|
||
- **Retiring an event** (it stops being emitted) keeps its row here,
|
||
marked retired, forever; removal of a row is a major version and is
|
||
called out in the release notes.
|
||
- Fields listed per event are stable; new optional fields may be added
|
||
(minor version), fields are never renamed or repurposed.
|
||
|
||
## Transport & field set
|
||
|
||
Audit events reach the operator on **two channels**, both fed by the same
|
||
`AuditService.record()` call:
|
||
|
||
1. **stdout log line** (pino JSON, the forwarding channel): the container
|
||
runtime captures stdout (Docker `json-file` with rotation); the
|
||
operator's collector (promtail/fluent-bit/vector/…) picks it up from
|
||
there and forwards to syslog/SIEM. **There is deliberately no
|
||
application-side syslog client** — transport, TLS and buffering are the
|
||
collector's job, one layer below the app.
|
||
2. **`audit_log` table** (the queryable trail with its own retention,
|
||
#196), shown in the Site-Admin panel.
|
||
|
||
Every audit stdout line carries this stable field set:
|
||
|
||
| Field | Meaning |
|
||
| -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| `msg` | `audit: <event id>` — the selector; collectors match on the `audit: ` prefix and take the id from the remainder. |
|
||
| `severity` | The catalogue severity of the id (`info` \| `notice` \| `warning` \| `critical`) — the routing hint for rules. |
|
||
| `actor` | Acting user id, or `null` for anonymous/system events (each row below states which). |
|
||
| `targetType` / `targetId` | What the event is about (absent when the event has no target). |
|
||
| _event fields_ | The per-event fields from the tables below, flattened into the line's top level. |
|
||
| `level`, `time`, `context` | pino plumbing: always `30`/epoch-ms/`AuditService`. Severity routing uses `severity`, not `level`. |
|
||
|
||
The `audit_log` row stores the same data structurally: `action`,
|
||
`actor_id`, `target_type`, `target_id`, `details` (the per-event fields as
|
||
JSON), `at`. Secrets, tokens, request bodies, and page content never
|
||
appear in either channel (security.md §Logging).
|
||
|
||
## Events
|
||
|
||
Severity vocabulary: `critical` = page someone (integrity/security
|
||
failure), `warning` = feeds detection (suspicious or destructive),
|
||
`notice` = configuration/privilege change, `info` = normal lifecycle.
|
||
|

## Scope boundary
|
||
|
||
Content activity (who edited which page, file up/downloads that succeed,
|
||
exports, labels) intentionally stays out of this trail — it answers "who
|
||
changed access/configuration and did the platform detect tampering", not
|
||
"who edited what" (security.md §Logging). The read-access trail for
|
||
classified content is a separate, VS-NfD-specific mechanism (#222–#225)
|
||
with its own catalogue entry when it lands.
