Subject: [PATCH] Fix multi-value attribute cells rendering with page-ref
 brackets

extractTag only unwraps a single whole-string tag, so multi-value attributes kept their [[ ]] while single values did not. Add an opt-in stripRefs flag to toCellValue, set only at the results-table display site, leaving raw-value callers (filters, kanban, in-place edits) unchanged.
