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.

The input has a column `building_i` which contains the building IDs like `BLD00001`. I need to: 1. Read the shapefile 2. Compute the centroid of each polygon 3. Keep the `building_i` column (rename to `building_id` to match the instruction's requirement, or keep as is? The instruction says "ensure the output carries a `building_id` column" — so I should create a column named `building_id` with the building identifier. The current column is `building_i`. I'll rename it to `building_id`.) 4. Ensure every row has a non-empty `building_id` (they all do based on the preview) 5. Write to GeoJSON as a FeatureCollection with Point geometry only Let me write the script.

Everything checks out: 1. Output file `building_centroids.geojson` exists at `/work/` 2. It's a GeoJSON FeatureCollection with 122 features 3. Geometry type is Point only 4. Contains `building_id` column with the building identifier from the input (renamed from `building_i`) 5. Every row has a non-empty `building_id` 6. CRS is preserved (EPSG:32734) All requirements satisfied.
