The DraftQueue background-removal control gated both "Remove background" and "Restore original" on the same `backgroundRemoval` flag, which only reflects whether a sidecar is currently configured. Restoring is a pure database swap and never calls the sidecar, so once photos had already been cut out and REMBG_URL was later removed from the stack, the admin was left looking at a cut-out photo with no control at all and no way back to the original short of a hand-written SQL UPDATE — directly breaking the "the original is always restorable" invariant the feature is built on.
DraftCard now computes `enabled` per photo as `backgroundRemoval || image.original_image_path !== null`, so Restore original stays available whenever a photo has an original regardless of whether the sidecar is configured, while Remove background still requires a configured sidecar. Also corrected the docstring on `DraftQueueResponse.backgroundRemoval` in draftsApi.ts, which claimed the flag hides "the control" generically — it only ever governed the remove-background control.
