Players whose linked Discord identity was banned or muted can now submit
an appeal from the portal and track it; staff get a queue in the admin
moderation section to claim and resolve (approve/deny) appeals. Approving
a ban/mute appeal best-effort asks the Discord bot to reverse the action
(unban / clear timeout) via the internal API and posts a mod-log embed; a
down bot never fails the resolution (reversal_status is recorded).
- Schema: new server-owned `appeals` table (no cross-owner FK to
mod_actions; existence validated in app code).
- Server: model/appeals/* + player appeals controller (submit/mine/
eligible/withdraw) and admin queue handlers (list/claim/resolve/
per-user) under the existing admin+moderator gate; one-active-appeal
enforced app-side; eligibility keyed on the caller's linked Discord id.
- 6d: bot POST /internal/mod-reverse (+ modLog.postReversal) and
server botInternalClient.reverseModAction, wired into resolve().
- Client: admin Appeals queue + resolve modal, ModerationUser appeals
tab, player Appeals page (submit/withdraw), nav + routes + api methods.
- Docs: swagger annotations + component schemas, regenerated output.
- Tests: appeals controller + pure suites (server npm test 224 green).
