prompt: "You are editing an APIs.json document to satisfy the Spotlight API
governance rule 'schema-include-change-log' (Schema Include Change Log).
Requirement: This property ensures that than an individual API or API
operations possesses a change log that catalogs all the changes that have
occurred in a recent time frame, with historical and version information
available if possible. To fix: Ensure `type` does NOT match the regular
expression `\\b(api-change-log|change-log|Change
Log|Changelog|ChangeLog)\\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."
