governance rule 'api-property-require-signup' (API Property Require Signup).
Requirement: This property ensures there is a link to where you sign up for

Ensure `type` does NOT match the regular expression
`\\b(X-signup|signup|Sign Up|SignUp)\\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."
