[Bug]: No audit logs in v1.61.1

[pn-santos]

It seems that in v1.61.1 audit logs are no longer being emitted.

I have this config:

audit:
  events:
    - "*:*"
  sinks:
    log:
      enabled: true
      file: '/var/opt/flipt/audit.log'
      encoding: json

and every version up to v1.61.0 would emit audit logs as expected.

Something in v1.61.1 seems to have broken the audit logs (no longer emitted). Tried both emitting to console and file and neither works in v1.61.1 but work just fine in previous versions.

Standard log messages are logged just fine.

I don't see any error log messages that might indicate a problem, the audit logs are simply not being emitted.

Issue Health Check: Well scoped

Type: Bug report

This is a clear regression report: audit logs that worked in v1.61.0 stopped emitting entirely in v1.61.1. The author provides their YAML configuration, notes that both file and console sinks are affected, confirms standard logs still work, and mentions there are no visible error messages. This gives maintainers enough detail to inspect the diff between v1.61.0 and v1.61.1.

Thanks — this issue looks well scoped and ready for the maintainers to evaluate.
