When a category fetch is about to fire (Rule34/Safebooru.org/
Moebooru on first click), the info panel was rendering the full
flat tag list, then ~200ms later re-rendering with categorized
tags. The re-layout from flat→categorized looked like a visual
hitch.
Fix: new _categories_pending flag on InfoPanel. When True, the
flat-tag fallback branch is skipped — the tags area stays empty
until categories arrive and render in one clean pass.
_ensure_post_categories_async sets _categories_pending = True
before scheduling the fetch (or False if no fetcher = Danbooru)
_on_categories_updated clears _categories_pending = False
Visual result:
Danbooru/e621: instant (inline, no flag)
Gelbooru with auth: instant (background prefetch beat the click)
Rule34/SB.org/Moebooru: empty ~200ms → categories appear cleanly
(no flat→categorized re-layout)
