Hi team! Thank you for this amazing component! I’m using it on my community, **[Jiwa.now](https://jiwa.now)**, and it looks absolutely fantastic.

I wanted to report a quick data-hijacking/conflict bug regarding the **“Tags” block**.

**🐛 The Bug:** When the “Tags” block is added to the Right Sidebar, it seems to consume the tag data upon the initial page load. As a result, the native Discourse tag dropdown in the top header renders as a massive empty shell (the data is missing).

**🔄 Steps to Reproduce:**

1. Add the “popular-tags” block to the Right Sidebar.

2. Go to the homepage and click the native tag dropdown in the top navigation bar.

3. **Result:** The dropdown expands but is completely blank.

**✅ Workaround:** I temporarily removed the “Tags” block from the sidebar, and the native dropdown immediately returned to normal.
