Previously, suspect-user reviewables ("user needs approval" flags) and queued-po…st reviewables could only be resolved by deleting the user or rejecting the post outright — a reviewer mistake on an automated false positive was irreversible, and sites with no-deletion policies had to resolve the flag and then manually suspend the user from their admin page. Requested in [meta t/408891](https://meta.discourse.org/t/408891) and [meta t/225660](https://meta.discourse.org/t/225660). This change adds guardian-gated **Silence user** / **Suspend user** resolutions to both queues via a shared `build_penalty_actions` helper, using the same penalize-modal flow the flagged-post and review-every-post queues already use (staff log linked back to the reviewable). Along the way it: - hides penalty actions that are already active everywhere (previously a resolve-then-409 dead end), and fixes the penalize modal's unawaited `before()` race so the penalty is only applied once the reviewable action succeeded; - narrows the rejected-user **scrub** affordance to records whose identity snapshot is the last remaining copy (user deleted, or renamed/anonymized after a failed deletion), admin-gated to match the endpoint; - shows an active penalty (localized end date and reason) on the reviewable user card, so it's clear why a penalty option is absent; - preloads `anonymous_user_master` on the queue since the new `silenced?` gates would otherwise lazy-load it per row; - rewrites the action descriptions in one consistent voice. <img width="460" height="313" alt="2026-07-31 @ 07 46 57" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/87d5bf49-97e0-47a4-939e-16da3f55c6e1" />
