Every #tag ever typed is `default`. `notes/tags.py` mints one as
`Label(owner_id=…, name=name)` with no colour, so it takes the column default —
which means tag-driven note colour, built on top, would have left the board
exactly as grey as it was. Four #todo notes in the operator's screenshot, four
different colours, because the tint is per-note-id and ignores tags entirely.

DERIVED RATHER THAN PERSISTED AT MINT TIME, reversing the plan in 2965. That plan
wanted a hashed colour written wherever a label is born, and named the risk in
its own body: `find_or_create_label` is "easy to miss, and it is the common one",
because most tags are born from typing `#grocery`, not from a management screen.
Deriving has no mint points to miss, needs no backfill for the tags that already
exist, and reuses the hash and the fixture the notes already have.

The cost is that renaming a tag recolours it. That is defensible — the name IS
the tag — and an explicitly picked colour is still stored and still wins, so tag
colours stay editable exactly as asked.

Lowercased before hashing: tags dedupe case-insensitively, so #Todo and #todo are
one tag and must not be two colours.

All five places a label's colour is drawn now resolve the same way — the card
chip, the editor chip, the drawer's tag list, and the management modal's dot and
swatch ring. The modal's ring follows the resolved colour rather than the stored
one, so opening the picker highlights what you can already see instead of
nothing.
