Description

I'm curious about the following error:
`Internal error: Geometry delta is too big: -4188947,2528672683`

This is coming while tiling about 600 million OSM objects (buildings) with the following flags:
`-Pf -Z14 -z14 -d18 -pf -pk -pg -pD -ps -b0`

Would changing to `z12 -d20` solve this for any reason?

Thanks!

Research direction

Reproduce the internal error using the reported flags and a comparable large OSM building dataset. No source file, test, or entry point is named; search the codebase for the exact error text, then determine whether the zoom and detail settings affect the failure. Done means identifying the cause and documenting a verified resolution or limitation.
