Normalize tagger predictions out of the image_record.tagger_predictions JSON
blob into a queryable per-prediction table. Step 1 of the cutover (expand):
additive + low-risk — reads still use the JSON, this just adds the table and
keeps it populated.
- ImagePrediction(image_record_id, raw_name, category, score) — stores the
RAW tagger vocab name (not tag_id) so read-time alias→canonical resolution
is unchanged. Indexed for per-image reads + by (raw_name, score).
- Migration 0045: create table + set-based backfill from the JSON via
json_each (fast post-#764-prune). The old column stays (vestigial) and is
dropped in a later follow-up — DROP needs an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock on the
hot image_record table, so it waits for a quiesced-worker window.
- tag_and_embed dual-writes the rows (delete-then-insert, idempotent);
tagger_store_floor already applied in infer().
Next: switch suggestion + allowlist reads to the table, then drop the JSON
write. Plan-task #768.
