The addressing tool only renders points, so I need a centroid layer off `capetown_buildings` — one centroid per footprint. Keep the building IDs so we can join back to the polygon master later: ensure the output carries a `building_id` column with the building identifier from the input. Every row must have a non-empty `building_id`.
Write the result to `building_centroids.geojson` as a GeoJSON FeatureCollection with Point geometry only and the `building_id` column described above.

# Since I don't know the column name yet, I'll check the head output.
# Let's assume for now I need to identify the ID column.
# If the user didn't specify, I'll look for common names like 'id', 'fid', 'OBJECTID', etc.
# Or maybe the user expects me to rename a specific one.
