September 2025: Stability and audit-logging reliability in redpanda-data/common-go were restored by reverting the refactor that moved auditlog into a common package. This included restoring original file paths and package structure, undoing the audit log proto definitions and generated Go code refactor to fix broken audit logging. The change was implemented in commit 119fe14ac7c0142b802e3bf374b527d0c9f1ebbd, returning to a proven and maintainable layout.
