Description
Hi!
For rendering my map, I build my mbtiles and then extract the pbf tiles(by enumerating and getting tiles from the source) from my mbtiles file and serve the pbf tiles from my server.
I am building an update functionality for my map. I understand that I can rebuild my mbtiles and recreate my pbf tiles to update my map. However, my need requires me to update only a block of data, so i will not be required to update the whole map.
Is there a way to update only one pbf tile, instead of updating the whole mbtiles? I see that the x,y,z of the pbf tiles that are extracted differ sometimes when i extract them from my updated mbtiles files. Why is that? Is that expected?
Thanks :)

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. First clarify the intended tile update and coordinate behavior, then inspect the existing MBTiles and PBF generation paths; done should be a documented, reproducible answer or an explicitly scoped implementation.
