Description
It would be useful to log when which administrator changed a setting. For example the "password policy": when did a change to "1 character is required only" was done.
Would a simple "listen to all config changes" hook work here? Or is this overkill?

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how administrator settings are changed and whether a shared configuration-change hook already exists. Define what administrator, setting, previous value, new value, and timestamp data must be recorded, then confirm that representative password-policy changes appear in the audit log.
