Description

Problem Statement

When a visitor visits a url mapped page, we used to automatically add the tags on that page to the visitor object. Somehow over the ages, we lost this feature

https://dev.dotcms.com/docs/visitors#VisitedPageTags

Steps to Reproduce

On the demo site, check your visitor object tags by hitting the "your profile" page :
https://demo.dotcms.com/login/profile

Then go and hit a blog detail page a few times. You can create a custom blog page with tags you can easily recognize if you need to.

Then return to the your profile page and you should see the tags for the blog detail page that you visited "accrued" to your visitor profile.

Acceptance Criteria

The visitor object should accrue tags when visiting a blog detail page.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior on the demo site's /login/profile page, then visit a tagged blog detail page several times and return to the profile. Trace the visitor and url-mapped page handling involved in that flow. Done means the visitor object shows the blog page's tags after visiting it, as described in the VisitedPageTags documentation.
