prompt: "You are editing an APIs.json document to satisfy the Spotlight API
governance rule 'api-include-about-page' (API Include About Page).
Requirement: This property ensures provides a reference to an about page,
either for the company, organization, or government agency behind an API, or
specifically about the domain, team, and the APIs they produce. To fix:
Ensure `type` does NOT match the regular expression `\\b(about|About)\\b`;
rename or rewrite any value that does. This rule is evaluated at the
JSONPath `$.apis.*.properties.* | $.common.*` — inspect every location it
matches and correct only what violates the rule. Make the smallest change
that satisfies the rule, leave all unrelated content, key order, comments,
and formatting unchanged, and keep the document valid APIs.json. Return only
the complete corrected document, with no commentary."
