Tag Pages Get Indexed But Article Pages Lag Behind
Google has indexed all your tag archive pages but article pages are still showing as "Discovered" or "Crawled — currently not indexed".

800 tags, 600 with 1-2 articles each = 600 thin archive pages. Set minimum-article threshold, merge synonyms, noindex the rest.
