[FR]: Hide identification tag from task edit modal #1790

Feature Description

The "Hide identification tags in task cards" setting correctly hides the task identification tag (e.g., #task) from task cards. However, the same tag still appears in the edit modal's tag field and its autocomplete suggestions.

Since the identification tag is a system-level concern (every TaskNote has it by definition), showing it in the edit modal adds no value. It clutters the tag input alongside user-meaningful category tags and can be accidentally removed.

Proposed Behaviour

When "Hide identification tags in task cards" is enabled, also:

  • Exclude the identification tag (and its hierarchical children) from the tag autocomplete suggestions in the task creation/edit modal
  • Visually hide it from the tag field in the edit modal (keep it in frontmatter)

Context

Related to #937 and PR #956 which addressed hiding the tag from task cards. This is the remaining surface where the identification tag is still visible to the user.
