Keep MFA backup codes visible after enabling MFA by avoiding protected-route unmount during user reload (`loadUser({ silent: true })`) and restoring pending backup codes from sessionStorage until the user explicitly dismisses them.
Add an admin-controlled `require_mfa` policy in App Settings and expose it via `/auth/app-config` so the client can enforce it globally. Users without MFA are redirected to Settings after login and blocked from protected API/WebSocket access until setup is completed, while preserving MFA setup endpoints and admin recovery paths. Also prevent enabling the policy unless the acting admin already has MFA enabled, and block MFA disable while the policy is active. Includes UI toggle in Admin > Settings, required-policy notice in Settings, client-side 403 `MFA_REQUIRED` handling, and i18n updates for all supported locales.
Audit logging for admin actions, backups, auth events.
New AuditLogPanel in Admin tab with pagination.
Dockerfile security: run as non-root user.
i18n keys for all 9 languages.
Thanks @fgbona for the implementation!

- Add GET /api/admin/audit-log with pagination; fix invite insert row id lookup.
- Add AuditLogPanel and Admin tab; adminApi.auditLog.
- Add admin.tabs.audit and admin.audit.* strings in all locale files.
Note: Rebase feature branches so new DB migrations stay after existing ones
(e.g. file_links) when merging upstream.
Files can now be linked to multiple bookings and places simultaneously
via a new file_links junction table. Booking modal includes a file picker
to link existing uploads. Unlinking removes the association without
deleting the file.
Admins can create one-time registration links (1–5× or unlimited uses)
with optional expiry (1d–14d or never). Recipients can register even
when public registration is disabled. Atomic usage counting prevents
race conditions, all endpoints are rate-limited.
