+// Using use_resource instead of use_server_future for URL-dependent tag selection

+// While use_server_future should theoretically be reactive when reading signals in the
+// closure (per Dioxus docs), in practice it doesn't reliably re-run when the url_tag
+// signal changes, especially during direct URL navigation (typing URLs in browser).
+//
+// use_resource provides more reliable reactivity for this use case because:
+// 1. It explicitly depends on url_tag and consistently re-runs when it changes
+// 2. It handles both async data fetching AND selection logic in a single atomic operation
+// 3. It works consistently across all navigation methods (links, direct URLs, etc.)
+// 4. It avoids timing coordination issues between separate hooks
+//
+// This approach combines fetching available tags from the server with determining
+// which tags should be selected based on the current URL, returning both pieces
+// of data together for clean state management.
