@@ -31,6 +31,8 @@ Der API-Key braucht die Scopes **Databases/Tables (read+write), Storage/Buckets
 - **`created_at`-Spalten entfallen** – Appwrite pflegt `$createdAt` automatisch
   (Indizes nutzen `$createdAt` direkt, z. B. `score_events`, `jobs`).
 - **Enum-Werte ohne Umlaute** (`laeuft` statt `läuft`).
+- **`attributes.tags`: Key-Index statt Volltext-Index** – Appwrite verbietet
+  Fulltext auf Array-Spalten; Tag-Suche läuft über `Query.contains`.
 - **S3/Hetzner-Backend für Storage** ist eine *instanzweite* Appwrite-Einstellung
   (`_APP_STORAGE_DEVICE`) und betrifft alle Projekte auf dem Server – wird daher
   nicht vom Skript gesetzt, sondern muss bewusst am Server konfiguriert werden.
