### Description

It would be useful if when someone decide to turn a DAG on/off (pause/unpause) to get notified with a hook/notification that a particular DAG has been turn on (maybe knowing who made this action)

### Use case/motivation

it's extremely easy turn a DAG on/off. This might get dangerous when different people (from different team) use airflow as scheduler. Having a hook might give some controls on what is being executed or not.

Research direction

Start with the linked discussion and trace the UI action that pauses or unpauses a DAG. Determine where a notification hook would belong, what event data it should expose—including the actor—and how both state transitions should be covered. Done means the behavior and integration point are agreed and verified for pause and unpause actions.
