Context

Corpus recipes (L1/L2) are sourced from food.com and allrecipes. The RecipeSuggestion schema currently does not expose a source URL. Users have no way to view the original recipe page for photos, reviews, or additional context.

What to build

Backend: Add source_url: str | None to RecipeSuggestion and populate it from the recipe DB row (the corpus already stores source URLs)
Frontend: Show a discrete "View original ↗" link in the recipe detail panel when source_url is present

Notes

Assembly template recipes (generated, not from corpus) will have source_url = null — hide the link for those
L4 wildcard recipes are fully generated — also null
Affiliate considerations: source links are not monetised; they are attribution/UX only
Do not show source URLs on the card list view — only in the detail panel to keep cards compact
