  Collections are indexed in CMR but STAC item search returns 0 results
  as of 2026-06-10 — collection metadata is present but items are not
  served via the STAC /search endpoint. Direct granule access via
  https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi/browse.pl or the OB.DAAC HTTPS
  download server at https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/. Probe will
  report stac_empty until item indexing is resolved upstream.
