I'm not sure exactly what *should* appear. Normally, I read about DHCP's
actions in the logs. Anyway …

I take it that you edited in the passphrase, and iwd wrote
the PreSharedKey into the file itself?

Where did you get the number 115 from?
It's claimed that iwd can do DHCP itself. For this, you'd drop
the [IPv4] paragraph above, and instead put
[General]
EnableNetworkConfiguration=true
into /etc/iwd/main.conf (create if necessary).

It's claimed that iwd only configures IPv6 if you have
[Network]
EnableIPv6=true
in /etc/iwd/main.conf.
