    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."
