Every tag suggestion is a canonical DB tag now (tagging-v2 #114: heads + CCIP
score EXISTING concept tags). The pre-heads apparatus for model-predicted tags
that didn't exist in the DB — creates_new_tag / raw_name / via_alias, the
/suggestions/alias endpoint + add_alias_and_accept, AliasPickerDialog, and the
store's aliasAccept/removeAlias — was dead and is removed.
The type-to-add dropdown was TWO row sources (server autocomplete + the image's
ML suggestions) merged with a dedup that dropped the %-bearing suggestion row
when the debounced server hit landed — the operator's "confidence % flickers
then vanishes". Now it's ONE list of DB-tag matches, each annotated with the
model's confidence (join by canonical_tag_id) when the tag was scored for this
image. No dedup, no flicker; picking a suggested tag still records acceptance
via TagPanel.findPending.
Single per-image fetch: score_image now reports above_threshold per row
(computed vs the head's own suggest cut, separate from the inclusion floor), so
the rail makes ONE min=0 request and derives the panel (above_threshold) and the
dropdown (all, text-filtered) client-side — the two /suggestions calls collapse
to one. Manual "Create 'X' as <kind>" (novel typed names) is unchanged; the
alias table + tag-side alias admin + auto-apply alias matching are untouched.
Tests: gate/serializer assertions updated (above_threshold; dropped dead-field
+ alias-endpoint checks); frontend spec seeds via the single load and covers the
byCategory/aboveByCategory split.
