+Read-only admin for Django's ``LogEntry`` audit log.
+
+Django records every add/change/delete performed through the admin in
+``django.contrib.admin.models.LogEntry``, but does not surface it anywhere in
+the UI—the "Recent actions" sidebar on the index page is deliberately scoped to
+the current user's own actions (``{% get_admin_log ... for_user user %}``).
+
+This registers ``LogEntry`` as a fully read-only changelist so a superuser can
+browse *everyone's* admin activity, filtered by user, action type, content
+type, and date. It is intentionally superuser-only (like Grant/Award) because
+it exposes who edited what across all accounts.
+
+The log is append-only by Django and this admin never adds, edits, or deletes
+rows; it is purely a viewer.
