prompt: "You are editing an APIs.json document to satisfy the Spotlight API
governance rule 'api-property-require-linting-rules' (API Property Require
Linting Rules). Requirement: This property ensures that an API has
governance rules applied, usually as part of a central set of governance
rules, defined by policy, or stages of the API lifecycle. To fix: Ensure
`type` does NOT match the regular expression
`\\b(api-rules|OpenApiRules)\\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
