The tags instruction demanded "all lowercase, no spaces, no hyphens" with
single-word examples. That clause arrived in the same commit that added
the priority_tags cross-reference, so it reads as a crude way of pushing
the model towards that (entirely single-word) vocabulary rather than as a
requirement in its own right — and nothing in the codebase depends on it:
* `_merge_tags` only lowercases and de-duplicates;
* `resolve_priority_tag` matches aliases exactly, and the priority config
syntax already supports multi-word entries and aliases;
* the tag FTS index tokenises on non-alphanumerics, so a hyphenated tag is
indexed as two tokens and stays searchable;
* tags never reach a ComfyUI prompt — that is `trainedWords`.
It also fought the priority_tags rule it was meant to support. Handed the
site-curated `character-enhancement`, satisfying both rules produced
`character` as well; the run added generic priority-list tags and dropped
the site's own wording. The spelling used by the site, the frontmatter or
the author is now kept verbatim — hyphenated, multi-word or non-Latin —
and no separator-free synonym is invented for a tag already included.
Measured on a Krea 2 portrait LoRA, the proposal went from nine tags
(four of them generic priority-list words) to six grounded ones.
