Avoid hydrating the shared `site.top_tags` payload in the sidebar block, since …the native `TagDrop` reads that same raw data for its menu. Render popular tags from the serialized tag data directly so the sidebar no longer interferes with the header tag dropdown. c.f. https://meta.discourse.org/t/tags-block-is-conflicting-with-other-tag-dropdowns/404723 **Before** <img width="1101" height="254" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/60af56e2-aafd-4ad0-9bed-abc6807334bc" /> **After** <img width="1112" height="322" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7ec35981-d833-4b1e-839f-c4cb5f0db378" />
