Description

Checked for duplicates

Yes - I've already checked

Describe the bug

The as_dict code will cut off half the polygon for bursts on the antimeridian (-180 longitude)
https://github.com/opera-adt/s1-reader/blob/main/src/s1reader/s1_burst_slc.py#L367

See https://github.com/opera-adt/burst_db/issues/1

The anti-meridian crossing bursts (international date line) have two polygons, since it's conventional to split the latlon that way.

What did you expect?

The likely fix will be converting to a MultiPolygon which can still be represented as WKT.

Research direction

Start at src/s1reader/s1_burst_slc.py line 367 and review how as_dict represents burst polygons, then compare the antimeridian case described in burst_db issue #1. Done means border polygons crossing -180 longitude are preserved as both parts, likely through a MultiPolygon representation that remains representable as WKT.
