feat: normalize tags to lowercase for Windows compatibility, see #637

Convert all tags to lowercase in tag processing logic to prevent case sensitivity issues on Windows filesystems. This ensures consistent tag matching and prevents duplicate tags with different cases from being created.

Changes include:
- TagUpdateService now converts tags to lowercase before comparison
- Utils function converts model tags to lowercase before priority resolution
- Test cases updated to reflect lowercase tag expectations
