prompt: "You are editing an APIs.json document to satisfy the Spotlight API
governance rule 'schema-include-governance-policies' (Schema Include
Governance Policies). Requirement: This property ensures there is a
governance policies reference as part of an API contract, usually a common
property pointing to a centralized set of policies that get applied. To fix:
Ensure `type` does NOT match the regular expression
`\\b(api-policies|Policies)\\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."
