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 start by finding the input file `capetown_buildings` to understand its format and contents.

We have a shapefile `capetown_buildings.shp`. Let me inspect its columns to find the building identifier column.

The input Shapefile has: - A `building_i` column (the building identifier) - A `geometry` column with Polygons in EPSG:32734 I need to: 1. Compute centroids for each polygon 2. Keep the `building_i` column (rename to `building_id` as requested) 3. Output as GeoJSON FeatureCollection with Point geometry 4. Ensure every row has a non-empty `building_id` Let me write the script.

Everything checks out: - Output is a GeoJSON FeatureCollection ✅ - All geometries are Point ✅ - Has `building_id` column (renamed from `building_i`) ✅ - All 122 rows have non-empty `building_id` values ✅ Let me also verify the output file exists.
