prompt: "You are editing an APIs.json document to satisfy the Spotlight API
governance rule 'schema-include-examples' (Schema Include Examples).
Requirement: This property ensures that an API has a reference to a examples
for individual APIs or as part of common properties, providing examples and
synthentic data that can be used for APIs. To fix: Ensure `type` does NOT
match the regular expression `\\b(examples|Examples)\\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."
