Description
Spotted in the docs. A curious appearance of a half-boxplot even though full is requested in the binned docs. Perhaps an issue with vegalites band domain?
VISUALISE Date AS x, Temp AS y FROM ggsql:airquality
DRAW boxplot
SCALE BINNED x VIA date
SETTING breaks => 'month'

Research direction
Start by reproducing the example from the binned docs at https://ggsql.org/syntax/scale/type/binned.html and compare the rendered Vega-Lite specification for the boxplot. Investigate how the binned date x-axis band domain is handled, then verify that the same example renders a complete boxplot when full is requested.
