[yusuftomilola]

Complete the CRUD surface for the Assets module with update and delete operations.

Requirements

update(id, dto, currentUser) — Partial update. Handles relation changes (category, department, assignedTo) as well as scalar fields. Logs a UPDATED history entry showing before/after values.

updateStatus(id, dto, currentUser) — Dedicated status change endpoint. Logs a STATUS_CHANGED entry showing the previous and new status.

remove(id) — Hard delete. Throws NotFoundException if asset doesn't exist.

Endpoints:

• PATCH /api/assets/:id — update
• PATCH /api/assets/:id/status — status update
• DELETE /api/assets/:id — delete (responds 204 No Content)

Acceptance Criteria

• Partial updates don't overwrite unspecified fields
• History entries created for update and status change
• Delete returns 204
