Research direction

Start by inspecting the STAC response at the mtbs collection endpoint and compare its spatial extent with the STAC Collection specification. Verify the downstream example client behavior at mspc.lutana.de/collections/mtbs; done means the collection lists the union bbox first followed by both sub-bboxes and clients retain the first bbox.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

https://planetarycomputer.microsoft.com/api/stac/v1/collections/mtbs lists two bboxes, but according to the STAC Collection spec you must list three bboxes. First the union and then all sub-bboxes.

This leads to downstream issues in the clients where the first bbox is omitted: https://mspc.lutana.de/collections/mtbs
