Description
### Description
I experienced this issues with reference to tags:
- defined folders inside tags are shown three times
- defined folder within a tag is lost in later sessions
- folders are assigned in/to the wrong tag
That means save procedure doesn't work properly
### Steps To Reproduce
1. Created tags called Setup and Immobilien
2. Tag a folder with Setup
3. Tag a different folder with Immobilien
4. Folder tagged with Setup is shown in tag Immobilien

Research direction
Start by reviewing the reproduction steps and the attached debug.log, then trace the tag save and reload flow in the Files codebase. Check how folders are associated with tags across sessions and verify the behavior with separate Setup and Immobilien tags. Done means each folder appears once, remains in its assigned tag, and does not move between tags.
