## Description

The core of the Action System is the `ActionManager`, which serves as a central router for all incoming actions. It uses a dynamic registry powered by the `inventory` crate to discover and dispatch to the appropriate `ActionHandler` at runtime.

## Implementation Notes

- The `ActionManager` will be implemented in `src/infrastructure/actions/manager.rs`.
- The dynamic registry `ActionRegistry` is in `src/infrastructure/actions/registry.rs`.
- Handlers are registered using the `register_action_handler!` macro.
- The manager is responsible for validation, creating audit log entries, execution, and finalizing the audit log.

## Acceptance Criteria

- [x] An `ActionManager` can be initialized.
- [x] The `ActionRegistry` automatically discovers handlers at startup.
- [x] The `dispatch` method correctly routes an `Action` enum to the correct handler.
