v0.20.6: Audit logging for critical operations

- New audit_log table (migration v0.45) with indexes
- logAudit() service with try/catch safety (never crashes app)
- Audit events: login.success, login.failure, logout, password.change, role.change, csrf.failure, profile.update, profile.settings.update
- All events include ip_address and user_agent
- No passwords, tokens, or session IDs logged
- Hudson security audit: 7/7 PASS

-### Features: Missing Audit Logging for Critical Operations
-**Priority:** HIGH  
-**Added:** 2026-05-08 by Neo
-
-**Description:**
-Security-sensitive operations lack comprehensive audit trails.
-
-**Rationale:**
-- Password changes (via `/api/profile/change-password`) not logged
-- User role changes (admin routes) not logged
-- Session invalidation events not tracked
-- Import/export operations only tracked via `import_history` table, missing details
-- CSRF token validation failures not logged
-
-**Implementation Notes:**
-- Files to modify: `/home/kaspa/.openclaw/Projects/bill-tracker/services/auditService.js` (new file), route files
-- Estimated effort: 4 hours
-- Add audit table:
-  ```sql
-  CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS audit_log (
-    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
-    user_id INTEGER,
-    action TEXT NOT NULL,
-    entity_type TEXT,
-    entity_id INTEGER,
-    details_json TEXT,
-    ip_address TEXT,
-    user_agent TEXT,
-    created_at TEXT DEFAULT (datetime('now'))
-  );
-  CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_audit_log_user ON audit_log(user_id, created_at);
-  ```
-- Log: password changes, role changes, login attempts (success/fail), session invalidation
-
 ### Add keyboard navigation and accessible ARIA labels
