tokyo_buildings_legacy.geojson is a footprint export from an old in-house tool. When we load it into web-based GeoJSON viewers, building interiors are shaded incorrectly: holes appear filled and exteriors render as empty space. Our tile-server import script also rejects every feature with geometry warnings. Fix the geometries so that standard GeoJSON web viewers render them correctly. Attributes must be untouched. Output to tokyo_buildings_fixed.geojson.
Every feature must remain a Polygon with interior rings and holes preserved exactly as they are; do not flatten them. feature_id is the join key.

# Check for common issues: self-intersections, wrong orientation
# In GeoJSON, the exterior ring should be CCW and interior rings CW (or vice versa depending on spec,
# but usually standard viewers expect a specific orientation).
# However, the "holes appear filled and exteriors render as empty space"
# strongly suggests the ring orientation is reversed.
# Standard GeoJSON (RFC 7946) specifies:
# Exterior ring: counter-clockwise (CCW)
# Interior rings: clockwise (CW)
# If they are swapped, viewers get confused.
