Corrected api structure, updated deps, clean up

# Description of Changes

- Improved file pattern matching by replacing glob (`**/*`) with
regex-style (`.*`) to ensure better compatibility and matching in
GitHub's `labeler` action.
- Added a missing `Documentation` label rule based on PR titles
(`^docs:.*`).
- Aligned `Documentation` file-matching rule to use regex pattern
(`.*.md`).
- Fixed capitalization inconsistency in the auto-labeler workflow:
`licenses` → `Licenses`.

+# Audit System Help
+
+## About the Audit System
+The Stirling PDF audit system records user actions and system events for security monitoring, compliance, and troubleshooting purposes.
+
+## Audit Levels
+
+| Level | Name | Description | Use Case |
+|-------|------|-------------|----------|
+| 0 | OFF | Minimal auditing, only critical security events | Development environments |
+| 1 | BASIC | Authentication events, security events, and errors | Production environments with minimal storage |
+| 2 | STANDARD | All HTTP requests and operations (default) | Normal production use |
+| 3 | VERBOSE | Detailed information including headers, parameters, and results | Troubleshooting and detailed analysis |
+
+## Configuration
+Audit settings are configured in the `settings.yml` file under the `premium.proFeatures.audit` section:
+
+```yaml
+premium:
+  proFeatures:
+    audit:
+      enabled: true           # Enable/disable audit logging
+      level: 2                # Audit level (0=OFF, 1=BASIC, 2=STANDARD, 3=VERBOSE)
+      retentionDays: 90       # Number of days to retain audit logs
+```
+
+## Common Event Types

+# Stirling PDF Audit System
+
+This document provides guidance on how to use the audit system in Stirling PDF.
+
+## Overview
+
+The audit system provides comprehensive logging of user actions and system events, storing them in a database for later review. This is useful for:
+
+- Security monitoring
+- Compliance requirements
+- User activity tracking
+- Troubleshooting
+
+## Audit Levels
+
+The audit system supports different levels of detail that can be configured in the settings.yml file:
+
+### Level 0: OFF
+- Disables all audit logging except for critical security events
+- Minimal database usage and performance impact
+- Only recommended for development environments
+
+### Level 1: BASIC
+- Authentication events (login, logout, failed logins)
+- Password changes
+- User/role changes
+- System configuration changes
+- HTTP request errors (status codes >= 400)
+
+### Level 2: STANDARD (Default)
+- Everything in BASIC plus:
+- All HTTP requests (basic info: URL, method, status)
+- File operations (upload, download, process)
+- PDF operations (view, edit, etc.)
+- User operations
+
+### Level 3: VERBOSE
+- Everything in STANDARD plus:
+- Request headers and parameters
+- Method parameters
+- Operation results
+- Detailed timing information
+
+## Configuration
+
+Audit levels are configured in the settings.yml file under the premium section:
+
+```yaml
+premium:
+  proFeatures:
+    audit:
+      enabled: true           # Enable/disable audit logging
+      level: 2                # Audit level (0=OFF, 1=BASIC, 2=STANDARD, 3=VERBOSE)
+      retentionDays: 90       # Number of days to retain audit logs
+```
+
+## Automatic Auditing
+
+The following events are automatically audited (based on configured level):
+
+### HTTP Request Auditing
+All HTTP requests are automatically audited with details based on the configured level:
+
+- **BASIC level**: Only errors (status code >= 400)
+- **STANDARD level**: All requests with basic information (URL, method, status code, latency, IP)
+- **VERBOSE level**: All of the above plus headers, parameters, and detailed timing
+
+### Controller Method Auditing
+All controller methods with web mapping annotations are automatically audited:
+
+- `@GetMapping`
+- `@PostMapping`
+- `@PutMapping`
+- `@DeleteMapping`
+- `@PatchMapping`
+
+Methods with these annotations are audited at the **STANDARD** level by default.
+
+### Security Events
+The following security events are always audited at the **BASIC** level:
+
+- Authentication events (login, logout, failed login attempts)
+- Password changes
+- User/role changes
+
+## Manual Auditing
+
+There are two ways to add audit events from your code:
+
+### 1. Using AuditService Directly
+
+Inject the `AuditService` and use it directly:
+
+```java
+@Service
+@RequiredArgsConstructor
+public class MyService {
+
+    private final AuditService auditService;
+    
+    public void processPdf(MultipartFile file) {
+        // Process the file...
+        
+        // Add an audit event with default level (STANDARD)
+        auditService.audit("PDF_PROCESSED", Map.of(
+            "filename", file.getOriginalFilename(),
+            "size", file.getSize(),
+            "operation", "process"
+        ));
+        
+        // Or specify an audit level
+        auditService.audit("PDF_PROCESSED_DETAILED", Map.of(
+            "filename", file.getOriginalFilename(),
+            "size", file.getSize(),
+            "operation", "process",
+            "metadata", file.getContentType(),
+            "user", "johndoe"
+        ), AuditLevel.VERBOSE);
+        
+        // Critical security events should use BASIC level to ensure they're always logged
+        auditService.audit("SECURITY_EVENT", Map.of(
+            "action", "file_access",
+            "resource", file.getOriginalFilename()
+        ), AuditLevel.BASIC);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Using the @Audited Annotation
+
+For simpler auditing, use the `@Audited` annotation on your methods:
+
+```java
+@Service
+public class UserService {
+
+    // Basic audit level for important security events
+    @Audited(type = "USER_REGISTRATION", level = AuditLevel.BASIC)
+    public User registerUser(String username, String email) {
+        // Method implementation
+        User user = new User(username, email);
+        // Save user...
+        return user;
+    }
+    
+    // Sensitive operations should use BASIC but disable argument logging
+    @Audited(type = "USER_PASSWORD_CHANGE", level = AuditLevel.BASIC, includeArgs = false)
+    public void changePassword(String username, String newPassword) {
+        // Change password implementation
+        // includeArgs=false prevents the password from being included in the audit
+    }
+    
+    // Standard level for normal operations (default)
+    @Audited(type = "USER_LOGIN")
+    public boolean login(String username, String password) {
+        // Login implementation
+        return true;
+    }
+    
+    // Verbose level for detailed information
+    @Audited(type = "USER_SEARCH", level = AuditLevel.VERBOSE, includeResult = true)
+    public List<User> searchUsers(String query) {
+        // Search implementation
+        // At VERBOSE level, this will include both the query and results
+        return userList;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+With the `@Audited` annotation:
+- You can specify the audit level using the `level` parameter
+- Method arguments are automatically included in the audit event (unless `includeArgs = false`)
+- Return values can be included with `includeResult = true`
+- Exceptions are automatically captured and included in the audit
+- The aspect handles all the boilerplate code for you
+- The annotation respects the configured global audit level
+
+### 3. Controller Automatic Auditing
+
+In addition to the manual methods above, all controller methods with web mapping annotations are automatically audited, even without the `@Audited` annotation:
+
+```java
+@RestController
+@RequestMapping("/api/users")
+public class UserController {
+
+    // This method will be automatically audited
+    @GetMapping("/{id}")
+    public ResponseEntity<User> getUser(@PathVariable String id) {
+        // Method implementation
+        return ResponseEntity.ok(user);
+    }
+    
+    // This method will be automatically audited
+    @PostMapping
+    public ResponseEntity<User> createUser(@RequestBody User user) {
+        // Method implementation
+        return ResponseEntity.ok(savedUser);
+    }
+    
+    // This method uses @Audited and takes precedence over automatic auditing
+    @Audited(type = "USER_DELETE", level = AuditLevel.BASIC)
+    @DeleteMapping("/{id}")
+    public ResponseEntity<Void> deleteUser(@PathVariable String id) {
+        // Method implementation
+        return ResponseEntity.noContent().build();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Important notes about automatic controller auditing:
+- All controller methods with web mapping annotations are audited at the STANDARD level
+- If a method already has an @Audited annotation, that takes precedence
+- The audit event includes controller name, method name, path, and HTTP method
+- At VERBOSE level, request parameters are also included
+- Exceptions are automatically captured
+
+## Common Audit Event Types
+
+Use consistent event types throughout the application:
+
+- `FILE_UPLOAD` - When a file is uploaded
+- `FILE_DOWNLOAD` - When a file is downloaded
+- `PDF_PROCESS` - When a PDF is processed (split, merged, etc.)
+- `USER_CREATE` - When a user is created
+- `USER_UPDATE` - When a user details are updated
+- `PASSWORD_CHANGE` - When a password is changed
+- `PERMISSION_CHANGE` - When permissions are modified
+- `SETTINGS_CHANGE` - When system settings are changed
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Sensitive data is automatically masked in audit logs (passwords, API keys, tokens)
+- Each audit event includes a unique request ID for correlation
+- Audit events are stored asynchronously to avoid performance impact
+- The `/auditevents` endpoint is disabled to prevent unauthorized access to audit data
+
+## Database Storage
+
+Audit events are stored in the `audit_events` table with the following schema:
+
+- `id` - Unique identifier
+- `principal` - The username or system identifier
+- `type` - The event type
+- `data` - JSON blob containing event details
+- `timestamp` - When the event occurred
+
+## Metrics
+
+Prometheus metrics are available at `/actuator/prometheus` for monitoring system performance and audit event volume.
