-   * Refactored system log activity messages to use native `<user:userId>` placeholders and associated them with polymorphic `subject_id` and `subject_type` objects.
+   * Refactored system log activity messages to use native `<user:userUuid>` placeholders and associated them with polymorphic `subject_id` and `subject_type` objects.
    * On the client-side, the chat component parses these placeholders into rich, clickable links to User Profiles, and dynamically matches and wraps referenced ledger names into links pointing directly to the ledger show page.
    * Added backend-side placeholder resolution inside `ActivityService` for the dashboard, ensuring unread system logs translate cleanly to real names across multiple dynamics.
