Add TypeScript build support before moving the building overlay.
The repository requires TypeScript for new code, but webpack/base.config.js accepts only .js and .jsx files and applies babel-loader only to .js files. Add the TypeScript build configuration first. Then move the building overlay constants and MapboxUtils.addBuildingsOverlay into a typed module.

Microplanning wants building footprints under the work areas, so what is on the ground in an area is visible before it is assigned. Overture publishes each release as a PMTiles archive, and Mapbox GL has read PMTiles vector sources natively since 3.21 (we ship 3.24), so the browser can fetch footprints straight from Overture's bucket. That leaves the server nothing to do but compute a URL: no endpoint, no cache, no parsing, no new dependency, and Mapbox owns tile fetching, caching and eviction. What is added here is a source, two layers and a toggle. The archive stops at zoom 14 and footprints are drawn from 14 up, so every rendered zoom past the first is overzoomed from z14 tiles. Verified this loses nothing in the dense areas that matter: one z14 tile over Kibera carries 11,568 buildings and reaches the client as a single 784 KB request, Kano's carries 34,067, and neither is thinned. Geometry is quantized to ~0.6m by the tile grid. Two things worth flagging: - Overture's buckets drop releases after 60 days and keep only the latest two, so a pinned release is a dead URL within about two months. OVERTURE_RELEASE is pinned in code rather than per environment, since every environment wants the same current release, and a blank one hides the overlay rather than pointing the map at a URL that 404s. - Overture buildings are largely OSM derived, so the source carries the OpenStreetMap + Overture attribution Overture ships in its own metadata.

The toast container is pinned to the map's top-right corner at z-50 and stays in the DOM when hidden -- opacity-0 is still hit-testable -- so it swallowed clicks over its own box, leaving only the sliver of the Show Building Data panel that reached past it. The two other passive overlays in that corner already set pointer-events-none; the toast never did, and nothing had sat underneath it before now to expose that. Moves the toast's utilities into a .map-toast class alongside .map-control-panel per the project's style rules. opacity-0 and the background colour stay on the element, since showToast toggles both through classList.

Mapbox owns the tile fetching for a PMTiles source, so there is no request of ours to track progress around. addBuildingsOverlay now reads it back off the map's sourcedataloading/sourcedata events for its own source and reports transitions through an onLoadingChange callback, which the map controller binds to a `buildingsLoading` flag. The panel becomes a column so the spinner sits under the toggle rather than beside the label. Two cases the callback has to get right: - Hidden layers request no tiles, so an idle map with the overlay off is not loading, it has nothing to load. `shown` gates the whole thing. - A tile that fails leaves the source permanently unloaded, so `idle` clears the indicator outright instead of asking the source again -- otherwise a failed load would spin forever. Verified by driving the real function against a stub map over seven scenarios (off, loading, arrival, other sources, failed tile, toggle-off mid-load, layer visibility). The repo has no JS test runner, so that harness is not committed.

The assignment-mode hint shared the map's top-right corner with the Show Building Data panel, at z-40 against the panel's stack. The panel is opaque, so it covered the hint outright whenever the user was zoomed past the footprint threshold -- which is most of the time in assignment mode, and exactly when the hint is worth reading. Moves the hint into .map-control-stack between the panel and the toast, so it flows underneath the control rather than behind it. x-show sets display:none, which takes the hint out of the flex column entirely when it is hidden, so the toast still sits directly under the panel when nothing is hovered -- the column never holds a gap for an absent hint. Its utilities move into a .map-hint class alongside .map-toast per the project's style rules. The hint loses its own positioning to the stack, which also aligns it to right-4 with the panel and toast instead of its previous right-2.

Overture retires a release after 60 days, so the pinned OVERTURE_RELEASE eventually points at an archive that 404s. Until now that failed quietly: the toggle stayed, switching it on drew nothing, and the only trace was a console error nobody has open. The overlay now reports an unreadable archive through an onFailed callback. The panel keeps the corner but swaps the toggle for a greyed "Building data unavailable" note, so the control does not simply vanish with no explanation, and the controller clears showBuildings on the way -- once the toggle is gone, leaving the layer on would strand an empty layer nobody can switch off. Only a source that never loaded is treated as fatal. Mapbox raises the same error event for one tile that dropped out of an archive that works, and withdrawing the whole control over that would take the feature away for the rest of the session over a blip panning already recovers from. `everLoaded` tells them apart: reaching loaded even once proves the archive itself is readable, so any error after that is logged and nothing more. onFailed fires at most once. Availability stays purely zoom-driven. The notice has to be visible to be read, so the failure deliberately does not withdraw the panel itself. Verified by driving the real function against a stub map over six scenarios: dead archive reports once and clears the spinner, a tile error after a successful load reports nothing but still logs, five repeated errors give exactly one report, another source's error is ignored entirely, failure leaves availability true, and an error before the first toggle still reports. The repo has no JS test runner, so that harness is not committed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

I am having a bit of trouble trying to understand the big picture of this PR. The description is very long, but mostly just describes how maps and tiles work in general. It doesn't describe why this change is taking the approach that it is. Can update the description to include a bit more about what this change does at a technical level, to inform review |

Minor nits otherwise, LGTM.
The layer id was spelled out at each of its five uses: the layer itself, three event handlers and the buildings overlay's beforeId. Renaming the layer would silently break any use that got missed, so they now share one constant. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Both tests read the config built from the release pinned in code, so asserting it exists and asserting what it credits belong in one test. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Product Description
A user will now see a Show Building Data toggle on the progress and assignment maps, which draws building footprints (from Overture) from zoom level 14 and up, with a loading indicator showing under the toggle while tiles are loading. Below zoom 14 the control and overlay both leave the map.

When an error occurs loading the data:
Technical Summary
CCCT-2750
The building data is fetched from Overture, which publishes releases as a PMTiles archive. Mapbox knows how to read PMTiles vector sources natively since 3.21 (we ship 3.24), so having Mapbox read the buildings data directly instead of us having to read it ourselves and parse it for Mapbox is a big win. Not only is it faster by having Mapbox read the pre-rendered data, but we also don't have to install a bunch of new libraries as in the manual approach mentioned earlier.
What this PR adds is a mapbox source, two mapbox layers and a toggle to the top of the map. The map loads buildings once the user reaches the minimum zoom level
BUILDINGS_DISPLAY_MIN_ZOOM(z14). Zoom levels smaller than this (i.e. when the user is zoomed out) hides the "Show buildings" panel.Note
Overture keep only the latest two releases accessible and creates a new release monthly. Currently
OVERTURE_RELEASEis hardcoded, so this PR exists to make sure we keep up with the releases automatically.Safety Assurance
Safety story
The feature sit's behind the existing flag-gated
MICROPLANNINGflag and it's an opt-in feature - the user needs to select a toggle to load the data.Automated test coverage
test_buildings.pycovers the entire Python surface: the tile URL for a configured release, the OSM + Overture attribution, and the unconfigured path (None/empty/whitespace release) that hides the overlay instead of emitting a bad URL.QA Plan
