A pre-existing 'Showroom Line' tag sits on 18,518+ ACTIVE SELLABLE products
(Kravet 1969, China Seas 1775, sellable Phillipe Romano 1753, Scalamandre 913,
Osborne & Little 616, Designers Guild 559, ...). Shopify/Boost `tag:` queries are
PREFIX/TOKEN matchers and quoting does not help — measured live, `tag:Showroom`
and `tag:"Showroom"` each return 10,000+ ACTIVE of which a sampled 100/100 carry
'Showroom Line' and 0/100 carry the exact tag. 'ShowroomOnly' measures 0
collisions, so it is safe in code AND in a Shopify/Boost tag query (which makes
the Boost index rule usable and un-traps applier verification).

Verified: all 5 consumers (canonical primitive, hasShowroomTag, microsite
isShowroomTagged, theme Liquid render-skip, theme JS backstop) agree 7/7 on real
tag strings — MDC's new tag matches everywhere, every 'Showroom Line' sellable
case is false everywhere, and the old 'Showroom' tag no longer matches. Phillip
Jeffries stays suppressed via the untouched vendor path.

Applier must stamp 'ShowroomOnly'. Theme PUSH and fleet deploy remain Steve-gated.
