  prompt: "You are editing an APIs.json document to satisfy the Spotlight API

    about how change is communicated. To fix: Ensure `type` does NOT match the
    regular expression `\\b(versions|Versions|Versioning|versioning)\\b`; rename
    or rewrite any value that does. This rule is evaluated at the JSONPath
    `$.apis.*.properties.* | $.common.*` — inspect every location it matches and
