    To fix: Ensure `type` does NOT match the regular expression
    `\\b(Authentication)\\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

    APIs.json. Return only the complete corrected document, with no commentary."
