Add audit logging for successful and failed user registrations in newuser function to ensure security event tracking.

[zeropath-ai-dev]

Summary

• The Vulnerability Description:
  The newuser function handled user registration without recording audit logs, failing to provide traceability for security-relevant actions such as new account creation or registration attempts.

• This Fix:
  The patch adds logging for both successful and failed user registration attempts, ensuring security events are now recorded for auditing purposes.

• The Cause of the Issue:
  The original implementation omitted logging mechanisms, resulting in a lack of evidence for user registration activity, which is crucial for monitoring and forensic investigations.

• The Patch Implementation:
  The patch introduces calls to app.logger.info and app.logger.warning to write informative entries to the audit log on success and warnings on failures, including the username and relevant status messages.
