prompt: "You are editing an APIs.json document to satisfy the Spotlight API
governance rule 'api-tag-require-upper-case' (API Tag Require Upper Case).
Requirement: Maintaining consistent casing for tags applied to individual
APIs ensures a uniform appearance and enhances search and discovery. Each
word in a tag should be capitalized, with the first letter of every word in
a phrase treated the same way. To fix: Ensure the targeted value matches the
regular expression `[A-Z]\\w*`; rewrite any value that does not. This rule
is evaluated at the JSONPath `$.apis.*.tags.*` — 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."
