Manifest "python" can now be a repo-relative path (venvs/mflux/bin/python) that
resolves against db.ROOT, so the same operator code runs on any machine/checkout
(M3 Ultra, M1 Ultra worker). All 6 venv operators switched to relative paths.
Prep for the M1 Ultra second node.

New operator: briaai/RMBG-2.0 image->transparent cutout, fully local on Apple
Silicon (weights unlocked by owner HF license). Free local alternative to the
cloud fal_bg_remove; the recommended pre-pass before SF3D / image->3D. Verified:
clean 1024px cutout of the FLUX astrolabe (alpha 0-255, 86.6% removed, thin rings
preserved). Same OpenMP guardrails as sf3d. scripts/install_rmbg.sh; venvs/rmbg.
