prompt: "You are editing an APIs.json document to satisfy the Spotlight API
governance rule 'api-property-require-team' (API Property Require Team).
Requirement: This property ensures that there is a reference to the team
behind an API, providing a reference to business and engineering
stakeholders. To fix: Ensure `type` does NOT match the regular expression
`\\b(team|teams|Team|Teams)\\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
