Fit a map to a bounding box

Replicates the MapLibre example Fit a map to a bounding box: the initial view frames a bounding box (here Kenya) regardless of the container’s pixel size.

What to notice

• config.bounds ([west, south, east, north]) wins over center/zoom for the initial camera — the upstream version needs a fitBounds() call after construction.
• Fitting to a source’s extent rather than literal bounds is a tracked gap (see the gallery index).
