[BUG] [alpha] Empty state title “No tags found” is not implemented as a semantic heading element

Description

In the Tags panel empty state, the primary message “No tags found” is visually presented as a title but is not implemented as a semantic heading element.

The text is rendered using a generic inline element rather than a structured heading (such as a heading-level element). As a result, the interface lacks proper semantic hierarchy, and the title is not programmatically identifiable as a section heading.

This reduces the clarity of document structure and affects accessibility, as assistive technologies rely on semantic headings to interpret and navigate content.

Steps to Reproduce

Headings should be programmatically identifiable

Actual Behavior

No structural heading is defined
The UI lacks semantic hierarchy for this section

✅ Validated

VALID bug report. The screenshot shows the Cortex IDE Tags panel with developer tools confirming that "No tags found" is rendered as a <span> element instead of a semantic heading.

Code verification in src/components/git/TagManager.tsx (line 600) confirms the bug: the Text component is used without an as prop, causing it to default to <span> (see src/components/ui/Text.tsx line 78). The text is visually styled as a title (font-weight: 500, font-size: 14px) but lacks semantic heading structure, which affects accessibility for assistive technologies.

The TagManager component is properly integrated into the application through GitPanel.tsx and is accessible to users when viewing the tags section in the Git panel.
