Fixes #577
Problem
Tag spacing breaks when using fonts other than the default monospace font. The current implementation uses hardcoded negative margins (
-me-3.5,-me-5) on the IconHash component, which are calibrated specifically for the default font. When users change fonts, the spacing breaks (as reported in #577).Solution
Replace the negative margin approach with flexbox layout, matching the pattern already used by other icon+text components in AstroPaper:
flex items-center gap-x-2flex gap-1.5flexThis makes Tag consistent with the rest of the codebase.
Changes
Benefits

✅ Follows AstroPaper patterns - Matches Datetime, EditPost, BackButton components
✅ Standard Tailwind CSS - Uses
flex+gap, no magic numbers✅ Self-adjusting - Spacing adapts automatically to font changes
✅ Cleaner code - Removes fragile negative margin approach
