Score questions live when resolving, with an async escape hatch

[lsabor]

Problem: Questions sometimes lack scores b/c scoring is a task spun up after basics are handled synchronously.

Fix: Calculate scores synchronously by default, allowing an async escape hatch.

Adds helper text for Admins if a question is resolved but doesn't have scores:

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added an option to score resolved questions asynchronously from the resolution dialog.
  • Added administrator guidance for resolved questions missing scores, including a link to trigger scoring.
  • Improved handling of score updates, leaderboard changes, forecast rebuilding, and resolution notifications.

• Bug Fixes

  • Synchronous scoring failures now safely roll back the resolution and show an error.

Changes

Resolution scoring and score diagnostics

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Resolution scoring lifecycle questions/services/lifecycle.py, questions/tasks.py, tests/unit/test_questions/...	Resolution scoring is centralized. Synchronous scoring runs in the transaction. Asynchronous scoring defers scoring and notifications. Scoring failures raise APIException and roll back resolution state.
Resolution scoring option wiring front_end/src/components/forecast_maker/resolution/resolution_modal.tsx, front_end/src/app/(main)/questions/actions.ts, front_end/src/services/api/questions/questions.server.ts, questions/views.py	The resolution modal exposes scoreAsTask and passes it through the client API and server endpoint to resolve_question.
Missing-score admin diagnostics front_end/src/app/(main)/questions/[id]/components/post_score_data/*	The score view detects missing scores and shows superusers an admin-panel link that supports triggering scoring.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bf4ec

The PR moves scoring into question resolution and adds recovery messaging, but a queued notification can still announce a question as resolved after it has been unresolved, producing incorrect user-facing information. The new admin notice is also not localized. Merge should pause for the notification issue to be fixed or explicitly accepted; localization can be tracked as bounded follow-up.

Poem

A rabbit checked the scores at night
A missing mark drew admin light
A checkbox chose the worker’s queue
The task scored forecasts anew
Notifications followed through

Inline comments:
In

- Around line 23-32: Move the hardcoded notice and “Admin panel” label in the
missing scores admin-note component into the translation catalog, then use
useTranslations() to render both strings while preserving the existing admin URL
and surrounding guidance.

Apply the same fix in
`@front_end/src/components/forecast_maker/resolution/resolution_modal.tsx` around
lines 277 - 290: The scoring option label and help text require the same
localization treatment.

In `@questions/services/lifecycle.py`:
- Around line 275-276: Bind queued resolution notifications to the resolution
generation: in questions/services/lifecycle.py lines 275-276, pass question.id
together with resolution_set_time when enqueueing the actor; in
questions/tasks.py lines 72-78, validate that the stored generation still
matches and the question remains resolved before sending, otherwise exit. Add a
regression test covering resolve followed by unresolve before task execution.
