Good news @here, it’s coming back 😅

> PM support for the solved plugin was intentionally removed in https://github.com…/discourse/discourse-solved/pull/334, but multiple communities rely on solved in group messages for private support workflows (e.g. using Discourse as an internal ticket system).
>
> Add a new \`allow\_solved\_in\_groups\` site setting (group list, default empty) that enables the solved UI for group messages belonging to the configured groups. Regular 1-on-1 PMs remain excluded.
>
> The implementation adds an early return in \`allow\_accepted\_answers?\` for private messages that checks whether the topic's allowed groups intersect with the configured setting. The category/tag logic is extracted into \`solved\_enabled\_for\_category?\` so callers without a topic object (e.g. the category-change diff in plugin.rb) still work. All existing PM exclusions (reports, badges, filters, directory columns) are intentionally left unchanged.
