updatings tags for load-balancer %q: %w

Error message

updatings tags for load-balancer %q: %w

What it means

In the load-balancer task's RenderScw, lbService.UpdateLB failed while syncing tags on an existing load-balancer (the update is triggered when there are changes or the tag counts differ). The load-balancer name identifies the LB; the wrapped error is the SDK response (permissions, invalid state, concurrent modification).

Solutions

1. Check the wrapped error for the update failure reason
2. Verify the LB is not being modified concurrently
3. Retry the apply operation
