Description
Currently, ingestion and txn extension are pretty permissive about what gets ingested. There should be at least some validation that the Item or Collection is valid. For example, Collections without a type field were recently ingested into an instance with no error on the ingest.

Start by tracing the ingestion and transaction-extension entry points in the repository and identify where Items and Collections are accepted. Define the minimally valid STAC cases from the project’s existing behavior, then ensure invalid input such as a Collection without a type field is rejected and covered by tests.
