What changed
Why
The current selector makes multi-tag workflows cumbersome and handles partial overlaps ambiguously. For example, an existing
artificial intelligencetag should not prevent users from selecting or creatingartificial, and searching forartificialshould retain every matching tag rather than collapsing them into one choice.The existing paginated API already supports server-side tag search. This change builds on it instead of caching an incomplete local tag list.
User impact
Users can search, create, select, review, and remove several tags without repeatedly reopening the selector. Selected names remain visible both while the picker is open and after it closes. Pressing Enter on a highlighted result immediately prepares the field for the next tag search. Exact duplicates are prevented case-insensitively after whitespace normalization, while distinct overlapping names remain available.
The full-height picker avoids Radix popover collision and repositioning problems in Chrome's narrow extension viewport.
