Explore's neighbour grid (/api/gallery/similar → gallery_service.similar) now
takes an Explore-only exclude_wip flag that drops `wip` system-tagged images
from the candidates, alongside the banner/editor presentation tags. The
gallery's own "similar" button is unchanged (keeps wip, #1274) — only the
Explore store passes exclude_wip=1. The anchor itself may still be a WIP; only
neighbours are filtered.
