once both databases are there, the form becomes two rows of actions

A text box invites an edit nobody is here to make. Named and created, the two
things somebody wants are per-database actions, so the inputs and the button go
and each database becomes a label, a table count, and what can be done to it.

Push schema runs the WEBSITE's own `db:push`. Not drizzle-kit driven from here
with a config this plugin assembles — the schema, the drizzle version and the
push command all belong to that repository, and reimplementing any of them would
be a second definition of the site's database going stale on its own schedule.
This supplies the connection and runs their script.

The connection goes in the environment, which works because src/env-file.ts
consults .env files first and process.env last. So an ambient value is used only
where no file in the checkout sets that key, and this cannot quietly override a
connection somebody wrote down.

Their name guard still applies and should: env.ts refuses to connect unless the
database name matches what FOFOS_ENV expects. A plugin that worked around that
would be defeating the one check standing between development and live data.

"Schema pushed" is a COUNT of tables in public, not a comparison against the
site's expected tables — that list would be a second copy of the site's schema,
stale the first time it gains a table, and the question being asked is only
whether anything is in there yet.

Restore is present and disabled, gated on the schema being pushed. It is not
wired: which backup it reads from is not decided, and guessing at the source of
a restore is not a thing to do with a client's data.
