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.

Let me first explore the working directory to find the `capetown_buildings` layer and understand its structure.

Bash
ls /work/
capetown_buildings.cpg capetown_buildings.dbf capetown_buildings.prj capetown_buildings.shp capetown_buildings.shx

Let me inspect the shapefile to understand its structure.

The input has a column `building_i` which is the building identifier. I need to: 1. Compute centroids for each polygon 2. Keep the `building_i` column, renamed to `building_id` 3. Ensure every row has a non-empty `building_id` 4. Write to `building_centroids.geojson` as GeoJSON FeatureCollection Let me write a Python script to do this.

Wait, the column is `building_i` in the input. The instruction asks for `building_id` in the output. Let me run the script and then verify the output.

Bash
cd /work && python solve.py
Null building_i: 0 Empty building_i: 0 Output rows: 122 building_id geometry 0 BLD00001 POINT (262131.639 6243436.712) 1 BLD00002 POINT (261950.751 6243258.841) 2 BLD00003 POINT (261763.586 6243178.854) 3 BLD00004 POINT (261684.818 6243473.068) 4 BLD00005 POINT (261890.235 6243301.424) Done!

The file has been created. Let me verify it's valid GeoJSON and contains only Point geometries.

The task is complete. Let me summarize what was done. 1. Read the `capetown_buildings.shp` file (122 building polygons) 2. Computed centroids for each polygon 3. Renamed the column `building_i` to `building_id` 4. Verified no null/empty `building_id` values 5. Wrote the output to `building_centroids.geojson` with Point geometry only and the `building_id` column All 122 rows have non-empty `building_id` values, geometry type is Point, and the file is a valid GeoJSON FeatureCollection.
