The cacheTag docs only showed revalidateTag for cache invalidation. For forms and user-triggered mutations, updateTag is the recommended API (read-your-own-writes). Add an example alongside the existing revalidateTag one.

Pull request overview
Adds an updateTag usage example to the cacheTag API reference to steer readers toward immediate, read-your-own-writes invalidation for user-triggered mutations (e.g. forms), complementing the existing revalidateTag example.
Changes:
- Adds a new documentation example showing
updateTag('my-data')in a'use server'function. - Introduces a short explanatory paragraph describing when to prefer
updateTagoverrevalidateTag.

Per Copilot review: call out the Server Action constraint and link to the updateTag and Route Handlers docs so readers don't copy the pattern into unsupported contexts.

What?
Adds an
updateTagexample to thecacheTagAPI reference page.Why?
The
cacheTagdocs only showedrevalidateTagfor cache invalidation. For forms and user-triggered mutations (the dominant use case forcacheTag),updateTagis the recommended API because it provides read-your-own-writes semantics. DX agent friction logs showed agents defaulting torevalidateTagand hitting the deprecated single-arg error before discoveringupdateTagvia web search.How?
Added a second example block after the existing
revalidateTagone, showingupdateTag('my-data')in a Server Function.
