[Repo Assist] feat: add Tags routing to NotificationCategorizer structured metadata pipeline

[github-actions]

🤖 This is an automated PR from Repo Assist.

Summary

The Tags field (string[]?) has been present on OpenClawNotification since the structured-metadata overhaul, but the NotificationCategorizer never checked it. Every notification with tags silently fell through to user rules and keyword matching regardless of what those tags said. This PR plugs that gap.

What changed

NotificationCategorizer.cs — adds a Tags step (step 3) in the structured metadata phase:

Intent → Channel → Tags (first known tag) → user rules → keyword fallback

When preferStructuredCategories is true (the default), the categorizer now iterates the Tags array and returns on the first tag that resolves via IntentMap. Unknown tags are silently skipped and fall through. Tags are skipped entirely when preferStructuredCategories is false, consistent with how Intent and Channel are treated.

// 3. Structured metadata: Tags — first tag that maps to a known category wins
if (notification.Tags is { Length: > 0 })
{
    foreach (var tag in notification.Tags)
    {
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(tag) && IntentMap.TryGetValue(tag, out var tagResult))
            return tagResult;
    }
}

Why Tags uses IntentMap

Intent, Channel, and Tags all express gateway-side routing intent; using the same map keeps the vocabulary consistent and avoids a separate data structure.

Backward compatibility

No existing behaviour changes. Notifications without Tags (or with Tags = null) are completely unaffected — the guard Tags is { Length: > 0 } short-circuits immediately.

Trade-offs

• Tags are checked after Channel — if the gateway sends both a Channel and Tags, Channel wins. This matches the priority ordering (more specific routing → Channel) over free-form routing hints (Tags).
• Only IntentMap is used for tag lookup (not ChannelMap). Tags are free-form hints, not structured channel names, so the intent vocabulary is the right match.

NotificationCategorizerTests.cs — +18 tests covering:

• Known tag routes to the correct category
• All 9 IntentMap values reachable via tag
• First-match-wins across multiple tags (unknown tags skipped)
• Unknown-only tags fall through to keywords
• Priority ordering: intent > channel > tags > user rules > keywords
• Tags ignored when preferStructuredCategories=false
• Empty array and null array both fall through

Test Status

Ran locally on Linux runner:

• Shared.Tests: 648 passed, 20 skipped, 0 failed (was 630; +18 new tests)
• Tray.Tests: 122 passed, 0 skipped, 0 failed

Build: succeeded, 0 warnings.

Closing this automated PR. The code is correct and well-tested, but the design choice of Tags overriding User Rules needs more thought — user rules are explicit user intent while tags are free-form gateway hints. Users should be able to override tags with their own rules. If we revisit this, tags should go below user rules in the pipeline priority.
