geo-l1-capetown-building-centroids
Map (reference ← swipe → agent)

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.
