Description

Steps to reproduce...

- Load the map in DOM
- Execute below code to get canvas URI

`map.getCanvas().toDataURL()`

This works on other styles but satellite it wont. Is this expected behavior ? Is there any work around ?

Thank you.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by loading the map in the DOM, using the satellite style, and calling map.getCanvas().toDataURL(). Compare that result with other styles and determine whether the behavior is expected or whether a documented workaround or fix is needed. Done means the satellite-style canvas export behavior and next steps are clearly established.
