+    <!-- Operator-flagged 2026-06-02: the kebab menu wasn't opening.
+         Wrapping in a <span @click.stop> matches the TagPanel chip
+         fix — even though there's no parent click capture here today,
+         the wrap is harmless and keeps both kebabs on the same
+         pattern. Click bubbles from the v-btn → opens menu via
+         activator props → bubble continues to span → stopPropagation
+         halts it. -->
