prompt: "You are editing an APIs.json document to satisfy the Spotlight API
governance rule 'schema-include-api-lifecycle' (Schema Include API
Lifecycle). Requirement: This property makes sure there is an API lifecycle
schema defining all of the stages of a lifecycle and which policies get
applied at each stage of the API lifecycle. To fix: Ensure `type` does NOT
match the regular expression `\\b(lifecycle|Lifecycle)\\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."
