This is a topic that comes up periodically. I'm not going to go over all of it again, but AO3's decision to allow authors to input basically anything--and any number of anything--as tags makes normalizing problematic at best.

It's not practical for FFF to fetch the tag page for every tag for every story looking for canonical tags when a story can have dozens of tags. I'm not interesting in implementing a cache to make it practicable. I would (probably) accept code contribution for it if someone else wants to implement it.

If AO3 ever offers an option to fetch story metadata with canonical tags that doesn't involve a page fetch per tag, then I'll be happy to look at it.

The short answer is, it doesn't. I didn't even know that was a thing for SB.

I was going to give the past answer of 'not interested in porting to javascript', but I see there are other options now. I can't promise it will happen, but I will look into it.
