<issue_title>Backend: token standard compliance profiles and audit trail</issue_title>
<issue_description>## Summary

Build backend support for multi-network token standard compliance and enterprise-grade auditability so the platform can deliver a SaaS-first, mainnet-ready experience. The goal is to let customers create and manage tokens with an explicit standard profile, receive clear validation feedback, and maintain a durable audit trail for compliance and troubleshooting. This aligns with the product vision by making the API a trusted system of record for token issuance and lifecycle management, rather than a thin helper service. The work focuses on backend capabilities that can power the current and planned frontend flows without requiring major UX changes.

Business Value

Enterprise customers and serious builders increasingly evaluate token platforms based on standards compliance, risk posture, and long-term maintainability. By adding explicit token standard profiles and rigorous metadata validation, we reduce the risk of non-compliant assets reaching production. That reduces support load, avoids negative wallet experiences, and prevents reputational damage when tokens appear incorrectly in explorers or custodial wallets. A dedicated audit trail creates a defensible record for compliance inquiries, internal QA, and customer success troubleshooting, which is essential for higher-tier SaaS contracts. This also enables new monetization levers: advanced validation rules and compliance reporting can be offered as premium or enterprise plan features, supporting revenue growth beyond simple token creation. The feature set will close parity gaps with competitor platforms that already advertise standards support and compliance readiness, and it will improve conversion by giving prospects tangible assurance that the backend enforces best practices rather than relying on user discipline.

Operationally, standards-aware validation improves the quality of tokens issued through the platform, which reduces downstream support tickets and reduces the need for emergency patches. It also decreases the likelihood of customer churn due to broken wallet rendering, missing metadata, or irreversible on-chain mistakes. For the product vision, a standards-compliant backend creates a stable foundation for SaaS-first user flows, payment enforcement, and ecosystem integrations described in the roadmap. It is a critical prerequisite for future features such as automated wallet integrations, marketplace compatibility, and compliance exports. This initiative also improves internal velocity because the backend will have a clear, extensible model for standards, making it easier to add new networks or metadata rules without ad hoc logic scattered across endpoints.

Product overview

See the business owner roadmap for the product vision and priorities: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scholtz/biatec-tokens/refs/heads/main/business-owner-roadmap.md

Scope

This work is backend-only and focuses on API behavior, data modeling, validation rules, and audit logging. It is designed to be compatible with current clients while enabling future UI improvements. The scope includes the following areas:

  1. Token Standard Registry

    • Introduce a registry of supported token standard profiles (for example ARC-3, ARC-19, ARC-69, or equivalent metadata schemes). The exact list must be configurable and extensible via a single central registry to avoid future scatter.
    • Each profile should define required and optional metadata fields, allowed data types, validation rules, and any default values or derivation logic.
    • Profiles must include a version identifier so that validation can be updated without ambiguity, and so that auditing records which version was applied.
  2. Data Model Enhancements

    • Add fields to the token model that store the selected standard profile and version.
    • Add fields that store validation status, last validation timestamp, and a canonical validation message or code for user feedback.
    • Create an audit log table for token lifecycle events (create, update, validate, publish), including actor, plan, standard profile, validation outcome, and request correlation id.
  3. API Behavior and Validation

    • On token creation and update, validate metadata against the selected standard profile.
    • Provide deterministic error codes and human-readable messages for client display.
    • Provide a read-only endpoint that lists supported standards, versions, and required fields.
    • Add a validation-only endpoint that allows clients to preflight metadata before submitting full token creation.
    • Ensure backward compatibility for existing clients by defaulting to a baseline standard when no profile is provided.
  4. User Stories and Flow Expectations

    • As a SaaS customer, I can select a standard profile for my token and get imm...
