Map (reference ← swipe → agent)

I'm putting together the accessibility report for the Metro, and its static maps need to show how far each station's underground box reaches at street level. `cairo_metro_stations.geojson` has each station's street-level entrances. Can you compute the convex hull of each station's entrances and save the result to `cairo_metro_hulls.geojson`, one Polygon per station? Every row must carry `station_name_en` and `station_name_ar`, both non-empty, with the original Arabic strings and diacritics preserved exactly as they appear in the input.

The GeoJSON has 20 stations with MultiPoint geometries representing street-level entrances. I need to compute a convex hull for each station's entrances and save the result as a Polygon per station. Let me write a Python script using geopandas and shapely to do this. Key requirements: 1. Compute convex hull of each station's entrances (MultiPoint → convex hull polygon) 2. Output to `cairo_metro_hulls.geojson` 3. Each row must carry `station_name_en` and `station_name_ar`, both non-empty 4. Preserve exact Arabic strings with diacritics Let me write the script.

Everything looks good: 1. All 20 stations have been processed. 2. Each output feature is a Polygon (convex hull of each station's entrance points). 3. Both `station_name_en` and `station_name_ar` are carried over, non-empty, with the original Arabic preserved. 4. CRS is EPSG:4326 (WGS84, same as input). 5. For stations with only 3 points (e.g., El-Marg, Ghamra, Helmeyet El-Zaitoun, Manshiet El-Sadr, Mar Girgis, Opera, Saad Zaghloul), the convex hull of 3 points is a triangle (Polygon with 4 coordinates — close ring). For Dokki (4 points), it's a quad. For stations with 2 points... wait, let me check. The stations with 3 points will produce a triangle polygon directly from convex_hull. But what about stations with only 2 or 1 entrance points? Looking at the data — all stations have at least 3 points (Dokki has 4, El Demerdash has 4, El-Marg has 3, Ghamra has 3, Helmeyet El-Zaitoun has 3, etc.). So no need for the buffer fallback, but it's there as a safety measure. All outputs are valid. Let me verify the output file exists.
