Admin restores an adjudicated comment to pending
PATCH
/reviews/{reviewId}/admin_restore
Inverse of admin_withdraw and any other adjudication — resets the comment to pending status so it can be re-triaged through the normal flow. Rejects comments that are not adjudicated (nothing to restore from). Requires admin role on the project and an audit comment explaining the action.
