Restrict rejection to pending resources.

The route accepts any route-bound Resource, but reject does not check its status. A reviewer with approve resources can therefore reject an approved resource. Public resource queries include only status = approved, so this removes the resource from public listings. Rejecting should remain a pending-review action.

Update ResourceController::reject to allow rejection only when the resource
status is pending; for any other status, return back with a resource error
before validating input or updating the resource. Keep the existing rejection
flow for pending resources unchanged.

Preserve first-approved ownership across creation and approval.

approve() updates the resource, so creating() does not run. The current count also includes pending and rejected resources. In addition, the database defaults status to approved, but the existing model-level creation test omits status; creating() sees null before the database applies that default.

Handle the effective default status, count only other approved resources, and run the ownership check when an update changes a resource to approved.

Review comment at @app/Observers/ResourceObserver.php at line 13:
Update ResourceObserver’s creating() ownership check to treat a null status as
the database’s approved default, count only other approved resources for the
node, and exclude the current resource when it exists. Add an updated() check so
changing a resource’s status to approved runs the same ownership logic; extract
that logic into a shared helper.
