prompt: "You are editing an APIs.json document to satisfy the Spotlight API
governance rule 'schema-include-authentication-page' (Schema Include
Authentication Page). Requirement: This property ensures that there is a
human readable authentication page available that will provide what type of
authentication is used and how it can be applied, as well as any services or
tooling that API consumers can use to troubleshoot authentication with APIs.
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
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."
