tokyo_buildings_legacy.geojson is a footprint export from an old in-house tool. When we load it into web-based GeoJSON viewers, building interiors are shaded incorrectly: holes appear filled and exteriors render as empty space. Our tile-server import script also rejects every feature with geometry warnings. Fix the geometries so that standard GeoJSON web viewers render them correctly. Attributes must be untouched. Output to tokyo_buildings_fixed.geojson.
Every feature must remain a Polygon with interior rings and holes preserved exactly as they are; do not flatten them. feature_id is the join key.
