BE-019 — Implement Audit Logging & Compliance API

[Marvelg256]

Closes #290

📚 Overview

Implements a production-ready Audit Logging & Compliance API providing immutable, searchable, and tamper-evident records of all significant activities across the TruthBounty platform.

✅ Acceptance Criteria

Criteria	Status
Audit events recorded successfully	✅
Search and filtering operate correctly	✅
Compliance reports can be generated	✅
Retention policies function correctly	✅
Monitoring metrics are available	✅
Audit logs remain immutable (append-only)	✅
Unit and integration tests pass	✅ (51 tests)

🧩 What Was Implemented

1. Audit Event Recording

• 40+ action types covering claims, evidence, rewards, users, authentication (LOGIN_SUCCESS, LOGIN_FAILED, LOGOUT, TOKEN_REFRESHED, PASSWORD_RESET), authorization (PERMISSION_CHANGED, ROLE_ASSIGNED, ROLE_REVOKED), administrative (ADMIN_ACTION, CONFIGURATION_CHANGED), moderation (MODERATOR_ACTION), governance (GOVERNANCE_PROPOSAL_CREATED, GOVERNANCE_VOTE_CAST, etc.), disputes, reputation, notifications, AI interactions, data management

2. Enhanced Audit Log Storage

• New fields: eventId (unique event identifier), severity (LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH/CRITICAL), category (12 categories), source (service origin), requestId, retentionUntil (legal hold)
• 12 database indexes for query performance
• Append-only architecture (no update/delete endpoints)

3. Search & Filtering

• Filter by: entityType, actionType, severity, category, userId, source, requestId, correlationId, date range, free-text search
• Paginated results with total/next/previous metadata

4. Compliance Reporting

• 7 report types: admin-activity, moderation-actions, login-history, governance-actions, permission-changes, security-incidents, audit-summary
• Export in JSON and CSV formats with Content-Disposition headers

5. Security Monitoring

• Brute-force login detection (configurable threshold)
• Permission escalation detection
• Suspicious API usage monitoring
• Grouped security event reporting
• Per-user security check endpoint

6. Data Retention

• Configurable retention period via AUDIT_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS env var (default 365)
• Daily cron-based purge with legal hold protection (retentionUntil)
• Export functionality for archival

7. Monitoring Metrics (Prometheus)

• audit_events_total, audit_events_by_action_total, audit_events_by_severity_total, audit_events_by_category_total
• audit_write_duration_seconds, audit_search_duration_seconds
• audit_storage_records_total, audit_oldest_record_age_days
• audit_failed_writes_total, audit_export_operations_total, audit_retention_operations_total

8. Performance

• Async writes via BullMQ queue (logAsync)
• Batch ingestion (logBatch)
• Indexed queries with composite indexes
• Efficient pagination with skip/take

9. API Standardisation

• All responses follow AuditResponse<T> / AuditPaginatedResponse<T> shapes
• Consistent: success boolean, data, pagination (page/limit/total/totalPages/hasNext/hasPrevious), timestamp, requestId

10. Future Extensibility

• source field for cross-service auditing
• eventId for blockchain correlation
• requestId / correlationId for distributed tracing
• Extensible enums for new event/entity types
