Description
The z dimension in shapely objects can create problems downstream, as for example here: https://github.com/scverse/spatialdata-plot/issues/230. We should validate this at the level of the data model.

Research direction
Start by locating the ShapesModel and reading how it parses and validates shapely objects for points and polygons. Check the existing validation behavior for POLYGON Z and related multipolygon shapes, then confirm that the model consistently handles the z dimension before downstream use.
