Description
I am looking for a way to generate a custom basemap with some specific tags that exists in OSM but doesn't exist in the Protomaps Basemap, for example -> tag:amenity=shelter (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dshelter)
Any resource on how to do that?
I guess I need to change/add something in tiles/src/main/java/com/protomaps/basemap/layers, but not sure what and how. Any help would be awesome!
Thank you

Research direction
Start by inspecting the layer definitions under tiles/src/main/java/com/protomaps/basemap/layers and trace how existing OpenStreetMap tags become basemap layers. Determine where a tag such as amenity=shelter would be configured and how its output is represented. Done means documenting or implementing the required layer configuration and verifying that the custom basemap includes the requested feature.
