🔑 Critical Findings

✅ Already Implemented

1. Admin Identity Capture - All actions have @CurrentUser() to get admin ID
2. Event Publishing - Commands publish domain events
3. Event Listener Pattern - UserBannedListener shows template
4. Logger Service - Pino with PII redaction
5. Exception Handling - Global filter + domain exceptions
6. Repository Pattern - Admin module shows clear interface/implementation separation
7. CQRS Module - CqrsModule.forRoot() in app.module.ts
8. DI System - Clear Symbol-based token pattern

❌ Not Yet Implemented

1. AuditLog Prisma Model - Database table needed
2. Audit Repository - Interface + Prisma implementation
3. Audit Event Listener - To capture and persist events
4. Query Handler - To retrieve audit logs
5. Controller Endpoint - GET /admin/audit-logs
6. HTTP Context Capture - IP address, user agent (optional enhancement)

📊 Implementation Scope

• New Files to Create: 6-8 files
• Files to Modify: 3-4 files (schema.prisma, admin.module.ts, controllers)
• Estimated Time: 4-8 hours implementation + 2 hours testing
• Complexity: Medium (straightforward pattern, follows existing conventions)
